    The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells describes an invasion of Earth by Martians. The narrator, whose name is never revealed, resides in Woking, England. He witnesses cylindrical canisters falling from the sky and later learns they contain Martians inside. The Martians have come to Earth because Mars is entering a cooling period. They use advanced heat-ray weapons and fighting machines to kill humans. The narrator survives by hiding in a house near a pit where the Martians are working. After several weeks, the Martians begin dying off due to Earth's bacteria against which they have no immunity. The world begins rejoicing as the Martian invasion ends.
