H.G. Wells – War Of The Worlds (Jack Gaughan)
So when the Martians failed in their effort to
conquer the Victorian world as told in H. G. Wells’ famous eye-witness
account, they took one short step X-wise and, having immunized
themselves against Terrestrial bacteria, tried again.
Earth’s
parallel world is called Annwn, and it was just slight behind Victorian
England in technology. So when they detected the explosions on the
fourth planet, it looked as if this time the Martians would succeed.
But
the Martians had failed to take into account one peculiarity of Annwn.
Almost everything was the same as Earth, but there were certain curious scientific differences.
