    What's the deal here? The book has been "public domain" for the better part of 50 years. It's available on project gutenberg in a variety of formats.

    Next you'll be posting Jane Austen and William Shakespeare books as deals.

      People see the word Amazon and they up-vote.

      • eBay bad, Amazon good.

      To be fair, it’s already in the Kindle format. Saves me the hassle of converting

        Variety of formats on project gutenberg - include kindle, but yeah, it'll save you the hassle of uploading to your device.

    Thanks OP.

    The Time Machine by the same author is also free and a great read.

    • Yep, and The War In The Air.

      • Thanks, I bought the audiobook narration for both @ $2.99 each which I thought was a good deal.

    Loved the Double LP & CD when I was a kid (showing my old age)

      With you on that one. Still dig it out on occasions to have a listen on a long trip.

    Extremely relevant given the current mass media joke/plandemic propaganda.

    This is a great book from an author who was way ahead of his time.

    Not so great is the recent BBC TV adaptation which was terrible

    • I was wondering about that. Saw some pre-release stuff about it months ago. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll treat viewing with the appropriate caution, if I watch it at all.

      Started off ok and then wow, it went sideways extremely quickly. Like half way shooting it they realised it was a stinker, canned an episode and condensed it further. Avoid.

      The book on the other hand is a classic and a must read for anyone remotely interested in the genre.

      There was a PC RTS game many years ago that was half decent as well.

    I also recommend listening to Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of "The War of the Worlds". I'm not sure if it is on steaming services though; soundtrack licensing is very complex.

    • Absolute classic. Still have the vinyl I got off my dad, he bought when it was first released. Epic!

    • Have on original vinyl, CD and on Google Music :)

  • Please note before the end of this book there are a stack of other book previews which you will need to skip to get to the end.
