Overview

H.G. Wells story, The War of the Worlds takes place at the beginning of the 20th century. His invasion ends when the Martians die from the bacterial infections they acquired invading Earth. My story picks up where he left off and attempts to stay true to his vision of the Martians and the technology of the time. My story requires a a couple of changes in the laws of science as we know them today, but is otherwise reasonable for Wells' time.
The survivors of the 1901 invasion are in the process of recovery when news arrives that the Martians are preparing for another attack on Earth. A decision on how best to fight the Martians must be made in the few short years that Earth has left. Through strong leadership, Earth makes unexpected assault on the Martians.
