Scarlet Traces: A War of the Worlds Anthology.
A collection of short stories based around War of the Worlds, by H G Wells, and Scarlet Traces an idea from I believe, Ian Eddington.
Based loosely, around war of the worlds. Each author provides their ideas around what they thought might have happened in the years following the failed alien invasion. Be that massive empire gains for the British, due to re-engineering alien weaponry. Fighting wars against the aliens on Mars and Venus. Having Holmes and Watson on the case. Or simply finding T S Elliot and Thomas Edison making cameo appearances. This book has it all.
Each story, at my reading speed took about half an hour. Not too short, to think about skipping. And, not too long, to loose interest.
If your a fan of Wells. This could provide some interest, as to how things could have developed. If your not give it a go. There maybe something there for you.
Rating: 3.8 / 5.0
