Deal Details
H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds, the first story to speculate about the consequences of aliens (from Mars) with superior technology landing on earth, is one of the most influential science fiction books ever written. The novel is both a thrilling narrative and an elaboration of Wells's socio-political thought on the subjects of imperialism, humankind's treatment of other animals, and unquestioning faith in military technology and the continuation of the human species.

This edition's appendices include other related writings by Wells; selected correspondence; contemporary reviews; excerpts from works that influenced the novel and from contemporary invasion narratives; and photographs of examples of Victorian military technology.

"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, he says"

This is one of those books that's entitled to a specially priced audiobook offer beyond what's on the Kindle product page.

I got this when it was free the last time. Now the Audible edition is $0.49 (for anyone; I don't have an Audible membership).

Sign into your Amazon account. Click the deal link or just search for yourself. For me (in a Chrome browser on my phone) it's right next to the box for the Kindle price. It says $0.49 in the box for the Audible price in spite of the $7.49 "special offer" below.

Got my copy in Dec '19, so this has been free on multiple occasions. Still nice that a classic is regularly available for free on a well-known platform.

Book was good but not as good as the movie. I wish Wells followed the Spielberg story closer. Some of his decisions just didn't resonate with me. I really missed the father/son dynamic in the book.

In all seriousness - it's a classic but not a favorite of mine. Absolutely worth a read and it's hard to argue with free. Was surprised that I didn't enjoy it more though.

Interesting. But this is a pet peeve of mine with Amazon in general. Sometimes vastly different prices depending on who they're for & how/where they're offered.

So maybe this is a Prime thing? I've currently got a free trial.

But I'm rarely a Prime member & see these offers frequently. It's also possible to log into Kindle & search for books with specially priced Audible editions. Even without an actual Kindle.
