Martians attack Earth in war machines at the turn of the century, vanquishing the puny human military, only to be stopped in their tracks by germs. - isfdb:work/a44ca1 - http://www.blackmask.com/olbooks/warwoldex.htm Does this feel a little 'stop me if you've heard this before'? Doubtless. But HGWells was there first. Originally a book, but then a radio program (with which OrsonWelles managed to scare the bejesus out of AmericaLand), a musical (from which people are likely only to recognise the 'Eve of the War' theme) and of course several movies and a piss-poor television series. Lest we forget, there was also SherlockHolmesAgainstTheMartians. CategoryBook CategorySFMovie CategoryRadioProgramme
