Product Description

Review

'H.G. Wells believed novels should transcend the artistic. For him they were an opportunity to educate and motivate Mr Everyman. Through the years countless sequels to H.G. Wells novels have been written by fans around the world. Unfortunately many of these devoted 'fanfic' authors have tended to focus on continuing Wells's storylines more than expanding on his original messages, meaning their sequels tend to lack the spirit, energy and endurance of the original story. Tony Wright has written a story that expands on the great The War of the Worlds and entertains as much as it embraces Wells' original spirit - without becoming maudlin or lapsing into simple plagiarism. A rare feat.'

Charles Keller - The H.G Wells Societies

Product Description

In the opening years of the 20th Century mankind faced its greatest war; The War of The Worlds. Now, a few months on, the Martian invaders are dead, slain by the earthly bacteria against which they had no defence.

Then, as England begins to rebuild, terrorist outrages begin to rock society. A new adventure begins, as a daring plan is put into place to discover the source of these disruptions. For one survivor of The War of The Worlds, the horror is just beginning.

I've read many unofficial sequels to classic literature over the years, from `true' published works through to message board fan fiction. Most of these works are either poor imitations of the original source material or else are so vastly different as to be insulting in their insinuation that they are in some way related.

Tony Wright has managed to avoid both pitfalls and craft a story that is most definitely an original piece of work, yet is completely in keeping with Wells' original.

I am always loathe to relate too much to the plot when writing a book review as it smacks too strongly of spoiler behaviour, so instead I always give my opinion on the ~feel~ of the writing and quite simply whether I enjoyed the title or not. With that in mind, I can say that the story itself is an engaging page-turner (screen flipper, I suppose, is more accurate for Kindle editions) that retains the classic tone of War of The Worlds but is written in a contemporary, flowing style of prose.

I'd have no qualms about buying this book at a standard retail price, but for less than the price of a magazine at the local newsagents (or indeed a bottle of water from the same vendor!) I don't see how anyone could have any complaints. I'd advise anyone interested in classic lit, sci-fi or indeed the man Wells himself to take a chance on this book. You won't be disappointed

All I can add to some of the other reviews is "Top Hole"!!!. I enjoyed this rollicking, fast paced yarn and it took me back to those novels of my youth which didn't beat about the bush with too much character analysis or with characters who had "baggage" etc, but got on with the stories. Short snappy chapters with a wealth of personnel, including some surprises. All in all a great story, well handled and plotted and making good use of the details included in the original work. Well done Mr Wright; more power to your elbow.

A good spiffing yarn 16 Feb 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
The author makes a very good fist of this book. He emulates the style of Wells with panache and imagination, a spiffing yarn told well, very enjoyable.

A worthy sequel
I downloaded this and couldn't put it down until I had finished reading it. A smashing sequel to a well loved favourite. I am looking forward to Rememberance.

Very good value for 71p. It reads like a graphic novel but without the illustrations, a bit like Alan Moores 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' (and thats no bad comarison!!). Read more

A great follow-up that's hard to put down
I will start by saying that I'm a massive fan of War of the Worlds - in every form, and was very sceptical of this sequel. How could it possibly match up to the original? Read more
