Wells WAR OF TWO WORLDS was an SF classic in which we see for the first time the theme of alien invasion, in this case, from Mars. And the Martians of Wells story were pretty nasty people. But it's my view that Anderson's THE WAR OF TWO WORLDS shows us both a more plausible invasion of Earth by Martians AND that the invaders were far nicer people than Wells invaders. We see both a reasonable explanation of how Earth and Mars could go to war AND how they were both being manipulated by unknown aliens.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
