Publisher's Summary

Join actors from Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation as they recreate this classic radio thriller. The breathless pace and convincing details make it clear why the 1938 broadcast of an "eyewitness report" of an invasion from Mars caused a nationwide panic.

Originally directed by Orson Welles and performed by his Mercury Theatre of the Air, The War of the Worlds is an adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel of the same name. The War of the Worlds is truly the mother of all space invasions, offering a rare combination of chills, thrills and great literature. This full-cast production features John de Lancie, Meagan Fay, Jerry Hardin, Gates McFadden, Leonard Nimoy, Daryl Schultz, Armin Shimerman, Brent Spiner, Tom Virtue, and Wil Wheaton.

    "Very enjoyable remake"

    I purchased this audio because of Leonard Nimoy and other Star Treck notables being in it. I own already the original and thought it couldn't be topped. This dramatized version is beautifully done and the changes noticable but not distracting or annoying. The voices were always clear and understandable over the background effects. As always LATW top quality.

    "War of the Worlds Remake"

    Sudo rendition similar to radio broadcast...left me wanting alot more than I got. A scratchy copy of the actual radio broadcast would have been better.
    Sadly disappointed!
