This version of The War of The Worlds is a clever adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel by Sidney Williams. This is the first dramatized audio of the novel set in the period and place Wells intended. This old-time radio-style drama is hosted by Tom Mitchell and was recorded in the U.K. with a full cast, including Martyn Tott, Nell Brooker, Simon Watts, John Tott, and Patricia Tott. Music and sound effects were all skillfully edited by Steve Digre.

This new retelling of War of the Worlds features wonderful music, including "The General", written and performed by Yiannis Kranidiotis, and "Mars the Bringer of War", written by Gustav Holst, recorded by Eric Pancer, and performed by The Bensenville/Wood Dale Concert Band, conducted by Fred Lewis.

It was produced by Troy Thayne of Thayne Multimedia for the Blind and Disabled, Inc.
