An unnamed narrator delivers a first-person account of his experiences during the Martian invasion of Earth. With his eye on the stars when the first Martian cylinder falls to Earth, and present when a Martian emerges from the cylinder at Woking, the narrator provides a detailed and up-close picture of both the Martians and their terrible weapons as they unleash their fury on London and the English countryside.
