Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Martians failed in 1894. In 1915, humanity won't be so lucky.It's 1915, and the trenches of the Somme are already hell for German soldier Emil Zimmerman. But when the familiar, terrifying howl of a Martian Wanderer sounds across the battlefield, he knows the true war has just begun. The invaders have returned, adapted to Earth's environment, and this time they have help.Across the German lines, Emil discovers a treasonous conspiracy: a rogue General is hoarding alien weaponry, and negotiating a dark alliance with the enemy. Now, Emil must lead a mutiny and turn the enemy's own heat rays against them before Europe burns.Meanwhile, in America, James Brogan, a brilliant engineer at Edison Laboratories, uncovers a silent invasion on his own soil. When transatlantic radios go dark and a massive explosion rocks Coney Island, James realizes German spies and Martian sympathizers are blinding the United States to the coming slaughter. Forced to step out from behind his workbench, James must expose a high-ranking traitor and restore the Planetary Warning System before the invasion reaches New York.Twenty years ago, humanity only survived the first Martian invasion because Earth's microbes decimated the invaders. Now, the Great War rages on, fueled by scavenged alien technology-fearsome heat rays and deadly canisters of Black Smoke-which the Martians now wield with ruthless efficiency.From the burning ruins of Reims to the bustling streets of Manhattan, the Great War of the Worlds has begun.
