Sentences like this make me come back for more H.G. Wells: "By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers; it would still be his were the Martians ten times as mighty as they are. For neither do men live nor die in vain."

An incredible story that must be judged on the merit of the time when it was written. So many stories have since been based upon it!

Good book, well written, I liked the storyline. It was not what I was expecting and I did like it.
