THE WORLD OF ALL QUIET ON THE MARTIAN FRONTThe Martian attack of  1898 brought terrible devastation to the city of London and set the course of  human history upon an altogether unexpected path. Amongst the ruins of the  greatest metropolis on Earth, the Martians had - in the end – faltered and  perished. Everyone now knows that these invaders were overcome, not by the might  of Queen Victoria’s armies, but by nature’s own forces of disease and decay.  Against these mere microbes, the Martians’ superior minds could muster no  defense. Where mankind had failed, the smallest and least significant of all  Earth’s organisms had triumphed.
Although the Martian invasion shocked the  world and caused widespread panic in the days that followed, by the early years  of the twentieth century, many influential thinkers were eager to proclaim the  aliens a spent force. Fear of further alien attack was gradually displaced by  the humdrum concerns of life and commerce. It is sobering to reflect that most  people were happy to accept this misguided notion, as we now know it to have  been. All over the world, only a few visionaries continued to warn that the  first attack might have been a scouting foray, the precursor to a full-scale  invasion. They urged humanity to ready itself for war or risk extermination.  These men were openly ridiculed and all too often dismissed as alarmists and  cranks. Few even noticed the arrival of the second wave of Martian cylinders  that fell to earth sometime around the end of 1908. By the time the Martian  presence came to the attention of the governments of Earth, it was already too  late.
