About this title

Synopsis

The Martians are back, and if they succeed they'll seize the United States without ever firing a shot.

After helping her fiancé thwart a plot in early 1915, Susan Wilson believed her life as a clerk at Edison's radio laboratory had finally returned to normal. But she couldn't have been more mistaken. When an attack strikes Edison itself, Susan is thrust into the heart of the crisis.

Working against curfews, betrayals, and the looming specter of alien tripods marching on the East Coast, Susan must decide whether to live a lie or become the lone voice that exposes the truth before the world is silenced forever.

Teamed with a war-weary marine captain, a grizzled Old-West veteran, and the relentless reporter Carl Urich, Susan darts between luxury Park-Avenue suites, hidden warehouses, and the smoke-filled newsroom of The Spectator. Her journey is a tale of resilience, identity, and the cost of survival as she learns that courage isn't just about confronting external threats; it's about facing the inner wars that define who we become when the world falls apart.

When the Martian menace first fell on Earth, H. G. Wells' War of the Worlds left humanity scarred-and hungry for answers. Murder in Soft Words picks up the story decades later, delivering the third, pulse-pounding chapter of the Great War of the Worlds saga.
