This summer, Stephen Spielberg directs Tom Cruise in an adaptation of H GWells' classic tale of alien invasion.

With a release date of June 29, 2005, War of the Worlds is set to become a blockbuster movie event. Imagine how different the battle for humanity would be if H.G.Wells' Martians launched their attack tomorrow...

Inspired by the H.G.Wells' masterwork War of the Worlds and updated with the technology of today, Douglas Niles has written a contemporary novel of alien invasion thatsuccessfully combines the adventurous science fiction of Larry Niven with the techno-thrills of Tom Clancy.
