The Massacre of Mankind

De: Stephen Baxter

Narrado por: Nathalie Buscombe

It has been 14 years since the Martians invaded England. The world has moved on, always watching the skies but content that we know how to defeat the Martian menace.

Machinery looted from the abandoned capsules and war machines has led to technological leaps forward. The Martians are vulnerable to earth germs. The army is prepared. So when the signs of launches on Mars are seen, there seems little reason to worry. Unless you listen to one man, Walter Jenkins, the narrator of Wells' book. He is sure that the Martians have learned, adapted, understood their defeat. He is right.

Thrust into the chaos of a new invasion, a journalist - sister-in-law to Walter Jenkins - must survive, escape and report on the war. The Massacre of Mankind has begun.

Like many others, I did not expect this

I wish I could've give this book 5 stars, unfortunately I reserve that pleasure to books who delivered certain things that this book hasn't.
Be as it may, this book was terrific, did a marvellous job imitating wells' writing style and imagination. Baxter definitely asked himself what would Wells do.
As if this book represents going into the untold stories inside the mind of Wells, but to say that would be a disservice to the true author of this great book.
Narration was ok, american accents were ridiculous, but bearable.
