That commentary includes: -- The early attempts to discover the secrets of the Red Planet. -- How the mythical Martian canals were "discovered." -- How Wells conceived of his story of alien invasion and how he related it to real-world concerns. This volume also features a short story sequel by Dave, "The Adventure of the Martian Cylinder," in which H.G. Wells meets Sherlock Holmes!
