A death at a funfair, and Bourne must face his nemesis...The third Jason Bourne novel from internationally bestselling author Robert Ludlum.

Vypravěč popisuje nezastavitelný útok invazních sil z Marsu, který vede k zdánlivě nevyhnutelnému pádu lidstva v tomto zásadním díle literární imaginace a zakládajícím románu žánru science fiction. Příběh, poprvé publikovaný v roce 1897, je vyprávěn jasným, téměř dokumentárním stylem. Realisticky vykreslené prostředí, s přesně popsanými městy a ulicemi, dává marťanskému útoku a následnému kolapsu pořádku ve viktoriánské Anglii nezapomenutelný dopad. Britská říše nasazuje své nejsilnější válečné stroje, avšak bez úspěchu, zatímco vypravěč, prchající před nehumánním nepřítelem, se skrývá v troskách civilizace. Hlavní koncept románu, kdy je lidstvo napadeno mimozemšťany, nepřestává rezonovat v populární kultuře a inspiroval více napodobenin než jakýkoli jiný motiv v žánru science fiction. Tento román H.G. Wellse si dodnes zachovává jak pocit nadpozemské úžasu, tak i hrůzostrašnou intenzitu.
