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 first
time, all at once, in huge artillery shell type things and proceed to
invade straight away.
And then all die from catching a sniffle.
Yep, I have such a poor memory. It's funny, but I did a failed
"project" involving War of the Worlds, so you would think it would be
one of the stickier works in my mind.
