From the planet of war they came to conquer the Earth …
The night after a shooting star is seen streaking across the sky, a cylinder is discovered on Horsell Common. Fascinated and exhilarated, the local people approach the mysterious object armed with nothing more than a white flag. But when gruesome alien creatures emerge armed with all-destroying heat-rays, their rashness turns rapidly to fear.

Recipient very pleased
by Mr L.
Absolutely superb book. Was a gift for my wife who loves the story but didn’t own a copy. The cover adds an element of class, the text is clear and a nice size. My wife was over the moon.

Perfect little book in excellent condition. The cover is beautiful with a rather expensive-feeling texture, thick white pages with a bold black font and a helpful golden tassel. I was a little worried about the edges being scuffed, as books can be so fragile to transport, but it was carefully packaged in a way that kept the book fully protected. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and recommend others to get their copy from this seller. Thank you very much.
