Comments:
A tribute to HG Wells's War of the Worlds, giving a view of the invasion as seen by one of Silverberg's favorite writers, who was a friend of Wells. When the Martians land, James and Wells get together and make a trek across the English countryside, witnessing the story from a different viewpoint.
