So far a very impressive story. The introduction when our main character presents us a description of how mars and its inhabitants came to be, and why their war for earth is an attempt for survival, is a great way to start of the book. Also the whole build up to the reveal of the Martians with the people of Woking etc climbing in and out of the crater and inspecting the missile creates a lot more immersion.

It’s very real and scary to read the people’s exodus from London. The description of this escape, of stampedes, the crush victims, lost children among the boiling streams of people screaming their parents names, all social classes hurrying to the beaches like soldiers in ww2 Dunkerque to the few remaining and brave refugee boats. The Thunderchild. The survival, hunger etc. This book is horrifyingly wonderful.
