Book pivots to narrator's brother's experiences in London. Harrowing first 60 pages with Martians wreaking havoc in rural England. Enjoying it thus far. One insight: Fleeing citizens lugging boxes of material possessions; one couple is carrying an outhouse door like a table with stuff piled upon it. Addiction to stuff is not a modern problem.

Guess who else read this great novel? The Master! Yep, it happened in DR. WHO "Frontier in Space," which I watched today for the first time. Fitting as the Master was plotting to pit the earth against the Draconians.

Serendipitous start about a shooting star, which is exactly how SAO Progressive vol 1 started. Two very different books with a century-plus between them both start with shooting stars. I'm taking it as a good omen!
