The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
4.0

As with most of the work of H.G. Wells, he isn't exactly subtle with his message. It's hard to imagine a more brutal critique of the late-nineteenth century British Empire, and its role in imperialist colonialism.

As such, it's remarkable how dark and violent this book is. Huge recommendation, especially if you think that you know the story.
