'''''The War of the Worlds''''' is a [[novel]] by [[H.G. Wells]] that was first published in 1898. The roughly 70,000-word novel, which is divided into two parts ("books"), deals with a possible invasion of Earth by fictional [[Mars|Martians]], who in the story are technologically more advanced than the humans.  Rich in vocabulary and more exciting than books promoted by [[liberal]]s, this novel is a superb choice for nearly anyone.
