Set in modern-day Europe, The War of the Worlds is an ongoing series adapted from H.G. Wells' novel. If astronomers pick up a broadcast from a different galaxy...... it's the final evidence of intelligent alien life. The world's population waits for further contact with their breath. She needn't wait too long. In a matter of days, the human race is almost extinct; only pockets of humanity remain on an eerily barren planet.With the appearance of alien vessels in the air, the survivors have a burning question – who are the invaders, and why are they so determined to destroy us? It's a story about ordinary men in unusual situations – but they're not just victims of a cruel war. Because, as we will learn, the aliens' savage assault on Earth is not an arbitrary one: its seeds have been planted right in front of us.
