RAS #671 - War Of The Worlds

This time on Ron's Amazing Stories we have something special - one
of my favorite stories, H.G. Wells' 1898 novel, War of The Worlds.
As a kid, I was both terrified and excited by the thought of life
on Mars. We've had War Of The Worlds on the show before, but it was
only 30 minutes long and failed to capture the story. So, we have
the Lux Radio Theater version, which does a great job telling this
fantastic tale. The sound effects alone rival those in the movie,
and the acting is even a tad bit better! It was created by Lux
Radio Theater and stars Dana Andrews in the role of Professor
Clayton Forrester. I think that you are going to enjoy it! The
Martians have ruined their planet and have decided to take ours for
themselves, removing all humans in the process. I won't give away
the ending, but I will say that things don't go as they planned.
Featured Story - War Of The Worlds War of the Worlds is a science
fiction novel by H.G. Wells, first published in 1898. It tells the
story of an alien invasion from Mars, where Martians with advanced
technology and disregard for human life invade Earth. The narrative
is notable for its realistic portrayal of panic and societal
breakdown in the face of a superior force. What you will hear is
Lux Radio Theater’s adaptation of the story. It first aired in
August of 1955. Ron’s Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible -
