"The War of the Worlds" was a Halloween episode of the radio series The Mercury Theatre on the Air directed and narrated by Orson Welles as an adaptation of H. G. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds (1898). It was performed and broadcast live at 8 pm ET on October 30, 1938 over the CBS Radio Network. The episode is famous for inciting a panic by convincing some members of the listening audience that a Martian invasion was taking place, though the scale of panic is disputed, as the program had relatively few listeners.[1]
Dark Moon is a classic science fiction story and includes everything you could want from a golden-age story: brave heroes, beautiful heroines, bad guys, aliens, spaceships, monsters, and alien worlds.
When a disaster pushes Harkness into crippling debt, and a villainous businessman frames him for murder, it's just the start of the adventure. Escaping imprisonment and flying his rocket ship into space pursued by the cops, Harkness races to clear his name and recover his fortune. But the Dark Moon has crashed into orbit, bringing monsters to challenge man's mastery of the air and to keep Harkness from his goal.
