Chris Mould's War of the Worlds - Illustrated Edition

A stunning full-colour illustrated adaptation of H. G. Wells'' sci-fi classic, from the illustrator of THE IRON MAN and ANIMAL FARM. In 1894, this earth was being watched by envious eyes. Those who have never seen Martian life can scarcely imagine these unearthly beings . . . Leon and Anya run an orphanage. When the aliens attack, they must race against the clock to uncover the weakness of these aliens and save the children they love. Leon must brave the wilds to find the Martians and draw his observations of them, whilst Anya works in her lab to research the science behind these creatures. Can they end this war of all worlds? In this modernised and abridged graphic novel Chris Mould brings to life the arrival of these giant alien lifeforms in glorious full colour. ''Exquisite, detailed illustrations . . . convey as much emotion as do words in this remarkable re-imagining of War of the Worlds.'' Susan Price, Carnegie winning author of Ghost Drum ''An absolute masterpiece.'' Kieran Larwood, author of The World of Podkin One-Ear series
