Von Wasser und Rohstoffmangel getrieben, fliegen die Marisaner zur Erde, um den Nachbarplaneten zu erobern. Ihren Raumschiffen, die im Vereinigten Königreich landen, entsteigen dreibeinige Kampfmaschinen, deren Todesstrahl niemand etwas entgegenzusetzen hat. Die Militärs müssen hilflos mitansehen, wie die Städte in Schutt und Asche gelegt werden. Voller Verzweiflung flieht die Bevölkerung auf Schiffe, um sich auf das Festland zu retten. Doch da kommt den Menschen die Natur zu Hilfe: Das Immunsystem der Marsianer ist den irdischen Bakterien nicht gewachsen, und nach und nach verstummt ihr Kriegsgeheul, bis sie alle dem unsichtbaren Gegner zum Opfer gefallen sind … Der Band enthält neben einem Nachwort des Wells-Experten Elmar Schenkel zusätzlich die Meistererzählungen ›Das Land der Blinden‹; ›Der außergewöhnliche Fall von Davidsons Augen‹ und ›Der gestohlene Bazillus‹.
