"In 1953, Earth experienced a War of the Worlds. Common bacteria stopped the aliens, but it didn't kill them. Instead, the aliens lapsed into a state of deep hibernation. Now the aliens have been resurrected, more terrifying than before. In 1953, aliens started taking over the world. Today, they're taking over our bodies." In this under-rated 'sequel' to the 1953 movie, in which marauding Martian invaders were stopped at the 11th hour by a common bacteria, the stored remains of the alien invaders are re-activated during a terrorists attack on a nuclear waste dump. Coming alive, the creatures kill the terrorists and 'absorb' their bodies. In this way, the aliens can carry out their mission undetected, although the rapid effects of radiation poisoning are soon noticeable to the naked eye, making it necessary for the aliens to constantly take over new human bodies, as they resume their plan to conquer the Earth. A combination of The Invaders and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, this US series blended often gruesome shocks -when killed, the bodies dissolved into a slimy mess- with some elegantly subtle touches. Leading the Earth fightback is renowned astrophysicist Dr. Harrison Blackwood, whose parents died in the 1953 invasion. He's helped by his paraplegic friend and computer whiz Norton Drake and microbiologist Suzanne McCullough who constantly strives to find a strain of bacteria that could defeat the aliens. Military muscle and combat strategy are provided by tough soldier and Cherokee Indian Lt. Colonel Paul Ironhorse. Other semi-regular characters include Suzanne's teenage daughter Debi, and a kindly housekeeper, Mrs Pennyworth, and later on by soon-to-be Highlander Adrian Paul. But the fight isn’t going to be easy because the aliens are ruthless in their effort to overthrow Earth. Led by a trinity of leaders - the Advocacy - these aliens have a knack of beating the good guys to the punch. It's an invasion by stealth, but it seems unstoppable... *** In the U.K. WOTW was released for Rental before showing on TV. Five volumes were released.
