That is not the way to wake up, early!The Second Martian Invasion was all the worse because Mankind knew what was coming, and ran anyway.
Tripod attack machines, flanked by new, smaller "Walkers" came out of the morning mist as they had done all those years ago.
The Heat Ray was no more destructive than we had been told by the survivors of the first Invasion. And we have just heard, as the TV and Radio Signals failed, that the first reports of the use of Black Smoke are also coming in.
Some people saw the sense in preparing. Rucksac's, Food. Guns and Weapons .
But most believed the Authorities.
It couldn't happen again. And even if it could, they would never leave Mars without an Earth borne reply. But no one saw them coming.
