Book Description
Excerpt from The Alien Invasion Mv object in writing this little book has been to collect together in a popular and readable form the main facts connected with the question of destitute immigration. I have endeavoured to set forth as concisely as possible the evils consequent upon our present system, and to place before the public the leading arguments in favour of some moderate and judicious restriction of the influx of the destitute and worthless of other countries. In doing so, I have studiously avoided identifying this important question with any particular party, or any particular creed. It is a matter which concerns the nation as a whole, and it is one in which men of all creeds and parties - Jew or Christian, Liberal or Conservative - may unite together for good. The advisability of restricting our present system of unchecked destitute immigration is a matter upon which there exists considerable difference of opinion. In giving expression to my earnest convictions, I ask for that same indulgence which I willingly extend to those who may differ from my conclusions.

Excerpt: There, among some young pine trees and furze bushes, I stopped, panting, and waited further developments. The common round the sand-pits was dotted with people, standing like myself in a half-fascinated terror, staring at these creatures, or rather at the heaped gravel at the edge of the pit in which they lay. And then, with a renewed horror, I saw a round, black object bobbing up and down on the edge of the pit.

Book Description
In this wildly entertaining collaboration, novelists Owen King and Mark Jude Poirier team up with illustrator Nancy Ahn to present a wickedly funny graphic novel about an alien invasion on a college campus. Stacey, a brilliant, overachieving astrobiology major at Fenton College, had planned on just another lonely Spring Break on campus. But when a hurricane batters the small college town, downing power lines and knocking out cell phone reception, Stacey and her friends are stranded with no way to communicate with the outside world at the worst possible moment: in the midst of an alien invasion. As space insects begin to burrow into students and staff—transforming them into slobbering, babbling monsters—a conglomeration of misfits must band together to prevent the infestation from spreading. Meanwhile, Stacey’s long-stifled romantic feelings for her friend Charlotte begin to surface, while the professor she had admired and respected becomes the students’ worst enemy. Illustrated with enormous wit and dynamism—mixing classic tropes from science fiction, indie comics, B-movies, and campus culture—this graphic novel is something different, a large-scale action/adventure story as seen from the point-of-view of a contemporary, realistic heroine. The result is a funny and singular work unlike anything else you’ve ever read.

Book Description
Large print edition of H.G. Wells' startling tale of mankind's first encounter with an alien race, The War of the Worlds is recognized as the original alien invasion story, written by one of the fathers of science fiction in the late 1890s. The story, set in rural and urban England, is written as two books, Book I dealing with the invasion itself, and Book II, reliving the narrator's experiences as Mankind lives under its alien conquerors until finally winning freedom. The fame of this exceptional story was enhanced first when radio star Orson Welles stunned listeners in the United States in October of 1938 by broadcasting a dramatic adaptation of The War of the Worlds so authentic that it caused panic throughout the country and resulted in countless calls to federal and state authorities. The War of the Worlds has since been adapted for radio, television and the silver screen countless times, and it is widely recognized as the bestselling science fiction story of all time. This new large print edition is oversized for easy handling and printed in a classic easy to read font.
