Because... I believe it is in the book. Its been awhile since
I've read it, but I think the same concerns existed about the book.
It's been a while since I read it too (although more recently than
its 1898 publication!) and as I recall the Martians arrive for the

proceed to invade straight away.
And then all die from catching a sniffle.
