Brilliant book. When it comes to vintage apocalyptic alien terror, Lovecraft wants what Wells has. If WotW came out last year, it'd make just as much of a splash as it did 1898--so many "clever twists on the classic trope" have become themselves such worn tropes that this book feels fresh.

Anfang gut, sonst relativ langweilig. Hier und da gibts schlaue Gedankengänge, aber die machen das noch nicht zu einem guten Buch (aus heutiger Sicht).
