Description
"Great cities destroyed--people fleeing in panic--the countryside in ruins. A burst of flame from Mars heads toward the earth, and a strange ship, unlike anything ever seen here, lands. Soon, it devours everything in its path, people and buildings alike. It is unstoppable. Mankind is in the greatest danger in all its history. Can anyone-or anything-save our world?"--Book back cover.
