By: H. G. Wells   | Series: Penguin Clothbound Classics 
The first modern tale of alien invasion, H.G. Wells's The War of the Worlds remains one of the most influential science fiction novels ever published.

The night after a shooting star is seen streaking through the sky from Mars, a cylinder is discovered on Horsell Common in London. At first, naïve locals approach the cylinder armed just with a white flag - only to be quickly killed by an all-destroying heat-ray, as terrifying tentacled invaders emerge. Soon the whole of human civilisation is under threat, as powerful Martians build gigantic killing machines, destroy all in their path with black gas and burning rays, and feast on the warm blood of trapped, still-living human prey. The forces of the Earth, however, may prove harder to beat than they at first appear. The War of the Worlds has been the subject of countless adaptations, including an Orson Welles radio drama which caused mass panic when it was broadcast, with listeners confusing it for a news broadcast heralding alien invasion; a musical version by Jeff Wayne; and, most recently, Steven Spielberg's 2005 film version, starring Tom Cruise.

This Penguin Classics edition includes a full biographical essay on Wells, a further reading list and detailed notes. The introduction, by Brian Aldiss, considers the novel's view of religion and society. 

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Great coverage, easy to apply

This has amazing coverage. Was skeptical at first. I thought the little puffer applicator would not work well. It does however work Very! Well! Would buy again.

Add more for special occasions
Color: Holo Silver Glitter Spray(2oz)
I love this, I have ordered several times for my daughter and I, it looks good if you just want to add a little touch of glitter in your hair for an everyday look or if you’re going out at night, you can add a little more to your clothes and skin. You don’t need to spray a lot, the can lasts us awhile and we use it pretty much every day.

Perfect for cheer and dance!
Color: Rainbow Silver Glitter Spray(6.34oz)
Bought this for daughter's cheer comp. Entire team ended up using it and had to buy a new one! My daughter picks at normal glitter. This was super sparkly and sprayed on so easy! You can do a quick fast spray across the body or hair for a little shimmer or spray slower and get a super sparkle!

Pretty, does come off easily
Color: Holo Silver Glitter Spray(2oz)
Works well. Glitter does come off pretty easily. If on clothing you can easily pat it off of you which for me was a con but for others might be a pro.
