The Wheels of Chance

The War of the Worlds is H. G. Wells's groundbreaking science fiction classic that reveals the fragility of human civilization in the face of the unknown. When Martians invade Earth with overwhelming technological power, humanity is forced to confront its own vulnerability. What begins as a mysterious landing in the English countryside soon becomes a catastrophic struggle for survival. Amid destruction, panic, and displacement, Wells explores themes of imperialism, scientific arrogance, and humanity's place in the natural order. Both thrilling and thought-provoking, The War of the Worlds is not merely a tale of alien invasion, but a timeless reflection on fear, power, and the limits of human dominance.
