The Army is prepared.\n\nSo when the signs of launches on Mars are seen, there seems little reason to worry. Unless you listen to one man, Walter Jenkins, the narrator of Wells' book. He is sure that the Martians have learned, adapted, understood their defeat.\n\nHe is right.\n\nThrust into the chaos of a new invasion, a journalist - sister-in-law to Walter Jenkins - must survive, escape and report on the war.\n\n\u003ci\u003eThe Massacre of Mankind\u003c\/i\u003e has begun.\n\n\u003cb\u003eRead what everyone is saying about \u003ci\u003eThe Massacre of Mankind\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\"I'm pleased to say [Stephen Baxter] \u003cb\u003ehas done a great job of expanding on H.G.
