6/150 This was not what I expected, which was a retelling of The War of The Worlds. Instead it's a dive into various parts of H.G. Wells fictional worlds. Yes we get invading Martians, but also Dr Moreau (from The Island of..), Hawley Griffin (The Invisible Man), Dr Cavor and the cavorite sphere (The First Men In The Moon), the Selenites (also from First Men) and even the giant rats from The Food of the Gods.

braddsibbersen I'm all for anything that references Food of the Gods. And yes that includes the 1970s film adaptation. 2y

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
