ALL'S WELLS THAT ENDS WELLS

The Martian War: A Thrilling Eyewitness Account of the Recent Invasion As Reported by Mr. H.G. WellsThe Martian War: A Thrilling Eyewitness Account of the Recent Invasion As Reported by Mr. H.G. Wells by Gabriel Mesta
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Gabriel Mesta is Kevin J. Anderson.  I'm used to just a little bit more from him I think.  In 'The Martian War', Anderson builds a story around H.G. Wells and his "real" adventures much as he did with Jules Verne in 'Captain Nemo'.  The story is told on two fronts from two different perspectives.  One focuses on Wells and his companions, the other comes from entries in the journal of Dr. Moreau.  While the story is interesting it fails to really expand on what we know from Wells' stories.  It is kind of predictable but is a short, entertaining read.
