"This is it, folks. We've arrived at our base camp for the next six months." The team cheered as they disembarked from the chopper, helmets on and goggles firmly in place against any glare aside from the wind chill too. Dr. Carter led them across the frozen tundra to a large metal structure that would serve as their base of operations, towering above them like a sentinel guarding them against that great blinding white beyond it.

Orson Welles' 1938 radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds has done much to obscure the real brilliance of the original work. Written at a time when "science-fiction" did not exist as a genre, The War of the Worlds was a new departure in literature. Author H.G. Wells, deeply committed to social improvement in turn-of-the-century Britain, used extra-terrestrial invasion to predict the results of a not-entirely-impossible violent upheaval in contemporary society: for "Martians" read "bolsheviks."
