The novel consists of two parts, the first book: the coming of the Martians and the second book: The Earth under the rule of the Martians. The narrator is a philosophical author, who fights to return to his wife as he sees the Martians turning the London countryside into ruin. The first book also recounts the experience of his brother, who was also not named, and describes the events that are deteriorating in the capital, forcing him to flee the Martian attack before boarding the ship near Tillingham on the coast of Essex.
