La guerra de los mundos, 1

At the dawn of the 20th century, a peculiar anomaly on the surface of the red planet attracts the attention of astronomers. Just a few days later, a mysterious cylinder lands in a discreet town in the English countryside: it is a weapon sent from Mars with the aim of massacring the human species. The war between the human being and the Martians, as narrated by H. G. Wells, constitutes the origin and the culmination of science fiction stories that raise the possibility of an alien invasion.
