The War of the Worlds (1898) by H.G.Wells 

H.G. Wells (1866-1946)

The British natural scientist and author H.G Wells was born in a small 
english village in 1866. Though his parents weren't the richest in the Empire, 
Wells got a chance to study at the London University through a scholarship. 
At the end of the century he was outexamined.
 While Wells was studying, he was interested in writing fiction mixed with 
reality and science and after his graduation he started to write books. By 
using a catastroph scenery he tried to get people aware of the dangers in the 
near future. The most famous book in this cathegory was "The War of the Worlds".
 In the end of his presence, Wells wrote some literature that was critical 
against the society. He thought that the morale of the society was teared apart 
and that the goverment didn't do anything about it. He wrote that the countries 
of the world were too unconfident with each other for a long lasting peace. 
Wells was right. September 1st 1939 the second world war began.
 
The War of the Worlds

 A bright summernight in the end of the 17th century the people estated around 
the town of Winchester see what they observe as a star falls. For a couple of 
weeks they have seen strange beams shooting out from planet Mars but the 
scientists says that the phenonima is just great vulcano eruptions. 
 An astronom called Ogilvy has found out where the "asteroid" has fallen and 
decides to go there. At the arrival he discovers a cylinderformed object that 
has drilled itself into the ground. Suddenly he's hearing sounds from inside 
the projectile.
 Ogilvy tells Winchesters inhabitants about the mistery and together they walk 
on to the meadow to examine "the thing". The group of people suddenly becomes 
aware of a great danger. The cylinder is broken and outside the space ship two 
big aliens sit. When they recognise all the people the aliens becomes afraid 
and shoots with their lethal weapons. Many people are killed.
 For every day there are now landing more and more Mars human carriers all over 
the world and no one can stop them because of the marsians great weapons. But 
the humans are lucky. After only a few months the whole Mars invading force 
dies out, probably because of a virus has spread amongst them that human is 
resistable against. Earth has been pardoned. For this time.
