A New Martian Menace Invades Planet Earth as The War Of The Worlds Continues! Winner of 5 awards in the 2020 Los Angeles Science Fiction Film Awards, Audio Drama category, together with volume 1 The Day Of The Martians. What lies hidden inside the Martian Red Weed and what is the secret of the lake on the moon? When the first Martian cylinder crash-lands in England, Ogilvy the astronomer barely survives the deadly heat ray from the attack by aliens. While recovering in hospital he discovers that Martian Red Weed is key to the alien technology and sends vital evidence to scientists in France aboard HMS Thunder Child, but the ship is destroyed by a Martian tripod. Years later in 1919, in the aftermath of World War 1 and Spanish influenza, a sinister plague emerges on Earth from the long forgotten Red Weed, and threatens all life on our planet with global extinction. Ogilvy suggests a daring and risky plan to combat the devastating alien menace, involving time travel and alternate history timelines. Despite the overwhelming odds he persuades other original War Of The Worlds characters to participate, but how on earth can they locate the secret weapon hidden by the Martians at the lake on the moon?
