As Miriam and her husband gaze up at the heavens through a telescope, they seek confirmation about recent activity on the surface of Mars. Simon and Miriam believe Mars is a dead world. Even if Humans had vessels that could travel through space, the distance between their planet and Mars seems too vast to cross.
Still, Simon and Miriam can't help but dream about meeting people from another world. What will happen when their dreams become reality? And will Simon and Miriam survive an encounter with the aliens that, unlike Humans, they believe must have evolved beyond the need for war?

A dramatic tale that runs parallel to the events of H.G. Wells’ classic novel, The War of the Worlds.
The War of the Worlds: Thunder Child follows the exploits of the crew of the eponymous ironclad torpedo ram, the HMS Thunder Child. Sitting alongside the events of Wells’ novel, the story takes place against a backdrop of strange occurrences and creeping terror, all leading up to the Thunder Child's final heroic showdown with the invaders from Mars.
This is a terrifying and thrilling tale soaked in blood, recriminations, sacrifice and loss, the first act in a new take on the well-known science-fiction classic with a unique cast and its own story to tell. A story of the horrors and conflicts of the crew as they experience the first desperate days of the Martian invasion and face the possible collapse of the British Empire and civilisation itself – threatened both from the stars… and from within.
