About this audiobook
Cylinders from Mars crash-land in the English countryside, unleashing towering tripods equipped with heat rays that devastate everything in their path. As the military crumbles before the alien onslaught, one man struggles to survive in a landscape reduced to ash and ruin. It is the ultimate story of invasion, highlighting human fragility in the face of a superior, indifferent force.
