The terror of the coming of the Martians is all but a distant memory, a bad dream that has faded with time....

All George wants is a quiet suburban life – but at breakfast one morning his newspaper reports the shocking discovery of a Martian cylinder, found intact and unopened, and carefully transported to London. 

By teatime he learns even worse news – vengeance seeking Martians and their tripod fighting machines are already on their way back in a huge green comet formed by the countless numbers of their cylinders.

This time they are armed with a doomsday weapon, able to destroy all bacteria and completely annihilate Earth
