Buy new: $36.00 / Used from: $52.93
My own book on the history of War of the Worlds radio broadcasts. Naturally the 1938 Orson Welles version is here, but so too are 9 other fantastic encounters with the Martians. A must have book for anyone interested in The War of the Worlds, radio history and our disturbing predilection as a species to let those pesky invaders from Mars get the better of us, time after time.

Big, bombastic, chilling, yet oddly moving, with Cruise giving a really unusual performance as a father floundering to keep his family together in the midst of an alien invasion.

Overlooked and underrated first season (the 2nd was not as good) of this television sequel to the George Pal movie. Some really good stories about a small band of government backed (very badly) fighters combating a 2nd invasion.
