The War of the Worlds was the first science fiction story to treat extraterrestrial aliens realistically. - Isaac Asimov 1974 AD
The daring conception upon which this story hinges is not a mere bit of invention. The War of the Worlds is, as Mr. Wells has himself said of it, the story of possibility, a piece of realism. Whether or not we agree with the author as to this, there is no denying the strange air of reality with which he has contrived to invest this astonishing narrative of the invasion of Earth by the inhabitants of Mars. It is a wonder story for grown-ups, and one of the deepest interest and most fascinating style. It shows, more than anything, how helpless man's most formidable engines of war become when matched against forces of which we have had no previous knowledge. - Harpers Brothers 1898 AD
