"Rust and Gardner's sequel to the H.G. Wells' novel of a Martian invasion, War of the Worlds: Retaliation, does the original story full justice, while bringing their own skills to bear as the writing pair take the battle to Mars, bringing along a bevy of historical figures from World War Two. It's an exciting roller-coaster of a ride, with sudden twists and heart-stopping drops--and one I wouldn't mind riding again." – NYT #1 Best Selling author, James Rollins

1898: Martian tripods lay waste to Earth's cities. The world's armies are unable to stem the tide of destruction. When all hope appears lost, common bacteria kills the alien invaders. From the ashes, the human race uses the technology left behind by the Martians to build new, advanced weapons.

1924: Armed with their own spaceships, tripods, and jet fighters, the nations of the world are ready to take the fight to Mars. George Patton, Erwin Rommel, Charles de Gaulle, and Georgy Zhukov lead their troops in battle across the red planet to end the alien menace once and for all. But the Martians have one last, desperate plan to try, and if successful, it could mean the end for all humanity.

Review

"I give this book five of five stars for being a fast-paced, engaging read that kept me rooting for its many protagonists - and wanting to read the original story again after all these years. I recommend it to anyone who likes science fiction, war fiction, or a damn good story." - Amazon starred review. "Mark Gardner and John Rust have written a surprisingly believable account of a world where earth has been attacked by squid-like Martians. Earth's military forces have struggled for years to recover and now band together to deliver payback to the unsuspecting enemy forces on Mars." -Amazon starred review.
