4.3 average rating from 5,000+ readers
It's been two years since the events chronicled in "The War of the Worlds". Humanity has moved on, the rebuilding efforts continue, and no-one really wants to think about Martians any longer.
But one man can't let go. George is still traumatised by the events of the first invasion, and is terrified that it's only a matter of time before they will return with greater force. He knows that we're not ready, but his efforts to warn everyone are rebuffed. Even his wife Amy is losing patience with him.
Until the first flashes are seen on the surface of Mars.
When the cylinders land, better defended and in larger numbers than before, George's prior experience is needed on the front lines of humanity's resistance. But the long-awaited return has reawakened his terror, and his insistence on making a difference is dragging him down a dark path.
Can George overcome his demons and join the fight against the invaders? Will they triumph over us this time?
The first in a trilogy of unofficial sequels to "The War of the Worlds" has mankind on the run once more. Buy it today to join the resistance.

Amy's Story
The Martian invasion at the start of the twentieth century has been well documented, but one story has never been told.
Amy's comfortable life is shattered when the Martians attack. Forced to flee the burning town of Woking, she can't prevent her husband George from vanishing into the night on a foolish errand. With no idea if he will ever return, and fearing for her unborn child, she sets out to try and find him among the tidal wave of terrified people.
When Ella, an orphaned refugee, begs her for help, Amy promises to find her grandparents. Unable to reach them, she ends up working in a field hospital tending to the injured and dying victims of the Martian assault. Supplies are running dry, the army wants to commandeer the place for their own wounded, and more desperate souls arrive every hour.
Meanwhile the Martian destruction draws ever closer.
