The war of the worlds - BOOK TWO: THE EARTH UNDER THE MARTIANS.: Survive the Martian occupation in this apocalyptic Science Fiction masterpiece that defined the alien invasion genre and dragged humanity into the darkest shadows of a ruined Earth.

Trapped under the rubble of a shattered world, one man must survive the unimaginable horrors of a Martian occupation.

The towering Martian fighting-machines have devastated England, blanketing the scorched countryside in toxic black smoke and an ever-creeping, blood-red alien weed. Forced underground into the ruins of a collapsed house with a deteriorating, frantic curate, an unnamed narrator bears witness to the harrowing true nature of the Martian invaders—and their chilling method of harvesting humanity. Pushed to the brink of starvation and madness, he finally escapes his subterranean prison into a ghostly, silent London. Here, he must navigate an eerily abandoned metropolis populated only by broken survivors, feral dogs, and the mechanical titans that stand sentinel over the ashes of civilization. Will he find his missing wife, or is mankind truly reduced to mere animals waiting to be captured?
