The War of the Worlds

by H.G. Wells

narrated on 5 CDs - new!

SEEN THE MOVIE? NOW COMPARE THE ORIGINAL STORY

A story so gripping and so authentic that it is more popular now than it was when first written.

It was 1898 when Wells crafted his seminal tale of grotesque tentacled Martians and their terrifying tripod fighting machines commencing their invasion of Earth from a landing site in a sandpit at Horsell Common, southwest of London.

The Hollywood blockbuster:

War of the Worlds
directed by Steven Spielberg, and starring Tom Cruise
was based on this novel.

However this audio book is not associated with the movie. It is an independent and faithful re-telling of H.G. Wells’ novel, complete and unabridged. The complete audiobook has a running time of 5 hours 55 minutes.

Yes, there are other audio books of The War of the Worlds available, but they are either much more expensive, or else they are versions relying on computer-generated speech, with none of the drama and emotion. This audio book edition of The War of the Worlds gives you the opportunity to obtain, for your personal collection, an outstanding quality narration of one of the world’s greatest stories, at a fraction of the cost charged by major recording studios.

The five CD’s in this set will be securely packed and shipped in a presentation case (see pictures above) along with a contents folder, including chapter headings and running times - all featuring original artwork by Ian Williams - www.lanceradvanced.com

About the author	About the narrator
H.G. (Herbert George) Wells was a British writer, best known for his science fiction novels	Shane Sody was, for 18 years, a professional broadcaster on some of Australia’s best-known commercial radio stations

Wells was born on 21 September 1866 at Bromley. He was the fourth and last son born to working class parents. When he was eight years old, he was bedridden with a broken leg. To pass the time, he started reading and soon became devoted to the other worlds and lives to which books gave him access; it also stimulated his desire to write. As a young man he had unhappy apprenticeships in various trades including draper and teacher. In 1883, he won a scholarship to what was then known as the Normal School of Science but he failed to pass all his subjects and lost his scholarship. He turned to writing from 1888. His early novels, called "scientific romances", were written during the 1890's. They invented a number of themes now classic in science fiction in such works as The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds (which have all been made into films). Wells died on 13 August 1946	He has also been a part-time dramatic and comic actor with local theatre companies in Sydney and the Gold Coast. But it was his consistent and award-winning performances on radio that made him so well known to hundreds of thousands of Australian listeners from 1979 to 1997. As a newsreader on Sydney’s 2GB and 2UE, later as news director and current affairs commentator on Adelaide’s radio 5AD and 5DN, Shane Sody established a reputation as one of Australia’s authoritative radio voices. He has been narrating and producing audio books for sale on eBay since March 2005.
