From the planet of war they came to conquer the Earth the night after a shooting star is seen streaking across the sky, a cylinder is discovered on Horsell Common. Fascinated and exhilarated, the local people approach the mysterious object armed with nothing more than a white flag. But when gruesome alien creatures emerge armed with all-destroying heat-rays, their rashness turns rapidly to fear. As the rays blaze towards them, it soon becomes clear they have no choice but to flee or die. Soon, the Martians begin a sinister invasion of the world. Destroying all in their path with black gas and burning rays, they brutally make their advance, feasting on the warm blood of still-living human prey. The forces of the Earth, however, may prove harder to beat than they at first appear.

Dessuten så er det ikke så fælt å dø. Det er frykten som gjør det så ille.
I was a battleground of fear and curiosity.

Da jeg sto overfor døden hadde jeg uttalt bønner, avgudsbønner, jeg hadde bedt slik som hedninger mumler besvergelser. Men nå ba jeg ordentlig, bønnfalt standhaftig og beregnende, ansikt til med Guds mørke. Forunderlig natt! Det rareste var dette, at så snart dagen hadde grydd, krøp jeg, som hadde konversert med Gud, ut av huset som en rotte ut av hullet sitt - bare litt større, et laverestående dyr, en ting som kunne bli jaget og drept på grunn av en tilfeldig impuls blant herrene våre. Kanskje rotter også ber tillitsfullt til Gud. Sannelig, hvis vi ikke har lært noe annet, har denne krigen lært oss medynk - medynk med de enklere sjelene som lider under vårt herredømme.
