Imagine that “The War of the Worlds” was only the beginning of the Martian plan to end the Age of Steam.

Presented by Thom Truelove

The famous H. G. Wells novel can be viewed as an incomplete tale. This presentation blends aspects of astronomy and demographics to reveal what could have been the full extent of the Martian strategy. If intelligences greater than our own drew their plans against us, the book can’t be a complete account. What else might have happened?
