Publisher's Summary
The War Of The Worlds Begins Again as Martian Tripods Return to Earth!
The terror of the coming of the Martians is all but a distant memory, a bad dream that has faded with time. All George wants is a quiet suburban life – but at breakfast one morning his newspaper reports the shocking discovery of a Martian cylinder, found intact and unopened, and carefully transported to London. Could it be from the first alien invasion and are Martians still alive inside after more than ten years?
By teatime George learns that vengeance-seeking Martians and their tripod fighting machines are already on their way back. This time they are armed with a doomsday weapon, able to destroy all bacteria and completely annihilate Earth. The countless numbers of their projectiles form a huge green comet and invasion day will be just before Christmas.
The first attack by aliens was enough for any lifetime, but who would expect to be involved with two? Can George and his wife escape this new Martian apocalypse and how will our planet survive a second time?
The Day Of The Martians continues the iconic Mars novel by H.G. Wells, in this exciting, unmissable action adventure with original music and immersive sound effects – the first volume of The Martian Diaries audio drama science fiction series.

Theatre in Audiobook Form
The Martian Diaries – Volume 1, by H.E. Wilburson is a science fiction story that is written as a sequel to the original H.G. Wells’ timeless classic, The War Of The Worlds. I haven’t read the original classic, so my experience was unbiased and new.
The cover of the novel is very comic book-like in feel and colour and I quite like the charm that this style of artwork captures. It reminds me of comics from my youth.
The medium I chose to consume this book in was the audiobook version and I was so glad for it. Before I explain my experience with the audio, let me start with the story. In brief, the writing style and quality impressed me, and the plot was strong. The audio, however, was spectacular. The voice of the narrator was very high quality and pro. The background music and continuous sound effects sprinkled throughout, made the experience very theatrical and immersive.
This is a short story, however there are additional volumes which I am looking forward to. I will probably stick with the audiobook version for this series.
