First, the Mars probe picks up an anomaly. Then, NASA sees some strange activity, and many stargazers notice meteorites rocketing toward earth. A cylinder surreptitiously lands in Wisconsin, and then another, and another - The War of the Worlds has begun. As tripods leave a swath of destruction across the America, Washington groups some of its greatest minds to solve the problem. Meanwhile, the Pentagon throws at the invaders the latest hardware the military has to offer. At stake is the survival of the human race and the dominion of planet earth. War Of The Worlds: New Millennium follows in the great tradition of Wells's original masterpiece, Niven and Pournelle's Footfall , and V , the miniseries to tell the story of an alien invasion of earth from the viewpoints of a writer in rural Wisconsin, a soldier in the field, and a science advisor to the president. Merging Clancy with Clarke and filled with techno-thriller action, it is a truly page-turning SF thriller.
