Not able to complete the requirements for his degree at Normal School of Science in London, England, author H.G. Wells found himself moving into his Aunt and Uncle Wells’ house in London. Also living there was his cousin, Isabel Mary, whom he married in 1891. His marriage to her lasted four years, and ended when Wells left her for one of the students he was tutoring at his uncle’s school. Her name was Amy Catherine Robbins and they were married in 1895. He had two sons with her: George Philip and Frank Richard.

War of the WorldsThey came from outer space---Mars, to be exact.

With deadly heat-rays and giant fighting machines they want to conquer Earth and keep

humans as their slaves.

Nothing seems to stop them as they spread terrorAnd death across the planet. It is the start of the

Most important war in Earth’s history.

And Earth will never be the same.
