The War of the Worlds has two parts, Book One: The Coming of the Martians and Book Two: The Earth under the Martians. The narrator, a philosophically inclined author, struggles to return to his wife while seeing the Martians lay waste to the southern country outside London. Book One also imparts the experience of his brother, also unnamed, who describes events as they deteriorate in the capital, forcing him to escape the Martian onslaught by boarding a paddle steamer near Tillingham, on the Essex coast.

Comments: Though this is a classic, and the writing is practically flawless , I did not like this story. It was frightening but I did not like the characters, I did not like how it unfolded. Sorry for all you lovers of HG Wells.
