The terror of the coming of the Martians is all but a distant memory, a bad dream that has faded with time. All George Wells 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 after nearly ten years, are Martians still alive inside?

But George soon learns even worse news – vengeance-seeking Martians and their tripod fighting machines are already on their way back to Earth, in a huge green comet formed by the countless numbers of their cylinders.

This time they are armed with a doomsday weapon, able to destroy all bacteria and completely annihilate Earth

The first attack by aliens was enough for any lifetime, but who would expect to be involved with two? How can our planet survive this new invasion and will George and his wife escape a second Martian apocalypse?

The Day Of The Martians continues H.G. Wells' iconic alien invasion novel in volume one of The Martian Diaries – a thrilling audio drama adventure, with custom music and immersive sound effects. If you're a fan of The War Of The Worlds and classic science fiction you won't want to miss this award-winning 3-part continuation that brings the original story full circle.

I can honestly say I enjoyed this audiobook. Sit in the garden, favourite drink. Tap play. Nice characters. The Martians description & leadup could have been a little more compelling. The story line is nice. Just put yourself in the timeline, The sound effects are a nice bonus, of which you don't get in most audiobooks.

There are negative views, but I don't think they've listened to the whole story before being so judgemental.

Thank you, and looking forward to part 2

This title needs re-recording with the Background Music totally removed, why is it there anyway?
I enjoyed the story but the performance is ruined by the music hence only 1 Star.

Ruined by Background Music

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Too short to give justice to a classic, no detail, poor story, a whole invasion over in minutes with very little explanation

Very Little action

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The story was ok, but the sound effects were poorly placed and way to loud and often drowned out the narrator. As for the sound track I wish the Martians would use their heat ray on it, as it was bloody awful and killed the story.

Story ruined by stupid sound track.
