The Last Post... For Now...

Since I read 3 books I will say one thing I liked about each book.

War of the Worlds- I liked this book because was suspenseful and scientifically correct. That means that everything in the book, besides some minor details, could possibly happen. I've figured out that in all scifi that everything seems possible, but somewhere in the plot there is a fault that prevents it from happening.

Lord of the Flies- I liked this book because it was not only a well plotted book but it had a deep meaning that you had to look for.

Animal Farm- I liked this book because I am very interested in Soviet Russia. Although the book was more of like a history documentary it was very good. The book was so correct about how countries operate it is was almost as if Animal Farm was it's own country.

The War Rages On

There are, now, 20 tripods that are controlled by the martians as if they were tanks. There are 2 martians per capsule that is launched at Earth and there are 10 capsules as far as we know. Throughout the book, artillery is supposedly killing some of the tripods, but as it turns out only one was killed. The martians themselves are just big round heads without any digestive organs. They just have a circulatory system and feed by sucking blood like spiders. They have tentacles for arms and tentacles for legs. The main character describes them as the 100 armed creatures from Greek mythology. Everyone thinks that this is the end of man kind and that the martians can't be stopped, like it's part of their destiny. The martians are also building flying machines that have the heat ray. They also build these big tubes that shoot canisters, like RPG's almost. The canister is filled with "Black Smoke" that suffocates everyone. By now the main character is just hoping to reunite with his wife lets see how it turns out...

The War and The Worlds

The war is between humans from the Earth and martians from Mars. The actual martian people are strange and I don't understand how the book describes them but apparently they have tentacles and this thing that shoots invisible heat rays. They are stuck in this pit that they're pod made when it crashed. The martians can't get out of the pit because our gravity is stronger an weighs them down, but that doesn't stop them. A second pod (there are 10) comes and there are giant tripods with saucer heads. I don't know if they have heat rays or not, but they must still kill people somehow. The army is useless against all four of these martians. FOUR!! Two martians and two tripods. If this happened during our time the army could nuke the martians to pieces. I don't know how they are going to stop the martians, if they ever do.
