The "War of the Worlds" is the only book I've read five times so I was apprehensive about whether this book would live up to my expectations. It did. While the premise is the same as Wells' this story takes some interesting twists that go beyond what Wells wrote. The first few chapters are less polished than the others as if Mr. Weekley were trying to find his voice. But he does and it is a voice worth hearing. So press on and you will be rewarded with strong character development and fascinating conjectures about Martian and Human history and our purposes in the universe. A commendable effort by a first time author.

I loved the book, Jeff!
My memory bank is now filled with your scenarios.... waiting to be illustrated. Sci-fi, Aliens, Archaic knowledge and the indomitable human spirit!
Thanks for the inspiration and revealing a little bit of "truth" to this nospeak untruth doublethink world!
