About this listen

The War Of The Worlds Begins Again as Martian Tripods Return to Earth!

The terror of the coming of the Martians is all but a distant memory, a bad dream that has faded with time. All George wants is a quiet suburban life – but at breakfast one morning his newspaper reports the shocking discovery of a Martian cylinder, found intact and unopened, and carefully transported to London. Could it be from the first alien invasion and are Martians still alive inside after more than ten years?

By teatime George learns that vengeance seeking Martians and their tripod fighting machines are already on their way back. This time they are armed with a doomsday weapon, able to destroy all bacteria and completely annihilate Earth. The countless numbers of their projectiles form a huge green comet and invasion day will be just before Christmas.

The first attack by aliens was enough for any lifetime, but who would expect to be involved with two? Can George and his wife escape this new Martian apocalypse and how will our planet survive a second time?

The Day Of The Martians continues the iconic Mars novel by H.G. Wells, in this exciting, unmissable action adventure with original music and immersive sound effects – the first volume of The Martian Diaries audio drama science fiction series. If you're a fan of The War Of The Worlds you won't want to miss this award-winning 3 part continuation. Start it today!

The story was ok, but the sound effects were poorly placed and way to loud and often drowned out the narrator. As for the sound track I wish the Martians would use their heat ray on it, as it was bloody awful and killed the story.

Story ruined by stupid sound track.

This title needs re-recording with the Background Music totally removed, why is it there anyway?
I enjoyed the story but the performance is ruined by the music hence only 1 Star.

Ruined by Background Music

Too short to give justice to a classic, no detail, poor story, a whole invasion over in minutes with very little explanation

Very Little action
