The Coming of the Martians is an audio dramatisation of the original War of the Worlds novel, that appeared on Kickstarter in 2015. It funded, and then there was the long wait for it to be completed. Delay after delay ensued, and after the joys of the AQ KS, I was thinking "here we go again". So, the downloads were made available earlier this month, and the physical product should be shipped at the end of this month.
I listened to it for the first time, with some trepidation, hoping that the wait was going to be worth it.
And I haven't stopped listening to it! I would recommend any of you out there who didn't get this on KS, go get it now as it is the best version of the story to date, beating all the films and Jeff's musical effort. Here's the link...
Coming of the Martians
We all know the story, which has only been changed in a few places, but not to the detriment of the story. So I will whet your appetite with some thoughts...
Relive HMS Thunderchild's valiant fight from the bridge of the ship.
Recoil in horror at the sounds of the curate being taken from the pit.
Follow the narrator's shocking descent towards insanity as he witnesses the invasion.
And the sounds of the Martians are the best I've heard - the call of the tripods is better than the Tom Cruise film, and the hooting when they are feeding is just scary.
If you consider yourself a fan of the original novel, you have to have this!
