Often referred to as the 'father of science fiction', H.G. Wells' tales of time travel and alien invasion have enthralled generations. His 1898, novel, The War of The Worlds , tells the story of an invasion from Mars and the ensuing conflict between the martians and mankind. Over the years, there have been many cinematic adaptations and even a musical version of the book, but never has there been a fully illustrated coffee table book with classic scenes brought to life. H. G. Wells: The War of the Worlds Illustrated is a 276 page hardback book that contains the original book text, expertly brought to life through a series of over 100 full-color illustrations by artist, Adam Rufino.
