  "The War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells stands as a monumental work in the realm of science fiction, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of popular culture. The narrative unfolds as an unsettling tale of an invasion from the distant planet Mars, seen through the eyes of an unnamed protagonist who resides in the tranquil countryside of Surrey, England.  
  As the story progresses, a palpable sense of dread envelops the landscape, transforming the serene hills into a theater of chaos and despair. The arrival of the Martian army sends shockwaves through the populace, igniting a wave of panic that engulfs towns and cities alike. Towering three-legged machines resembling nightmarish sentinels stomp through the English terrain, their metallic limbs crushing everything in their wake. With a terrifying precision, they unleash devastating heat rays that incinerate anything caught in their path, while toxic clouds billow forth, choking the air with their poisonous fumes. 
  In the face of this unprecedented invasion, humanity is forced to grapple with the harrowing reality: the specter of annihilation looms large, signaling not just the end of civilization as we know it but the ominous dawn of Martian dominion over a world thrown into turmoil.

  Be Careful What You Ask For! 
  With the Shaitan War at an end, Lieutenant Commander Shawn ‘Calvin’ Hobbs was able to finally complete the task given him by the long-lost Progenitors. Unfortunately, rather than getting a reward, the Progenitors’ rod was trapped, and it called the Progenitors’ ancient Enemy instead. Calvin and the crew of the Vella Gulf have now been given a choice—prepare the galaxy’s civilizations for the Enemy’s cull or become the first victims of it. 
  Calvin has overcome insurmountable odds before, however, and the crew of the Vella Gulf decides to fight. In order to win, though, they will have to answer one question that has never been answered in the history of the galaxy—how do you defeat an Enemy who can deactivate your weapons—and the artificial intelligence running your ship—at will? 
  Although Calvin and the crew of the Gulf have overcome every challenge given them previously, this time there doesn’t seem to be any hope for salvation. Terra’s allies aren’t any more prepared to fight this Enemy than they are, and there is no technology currently available that will let them even the odds. With the clock counting down to his extermination, Calvin will have to use everything at his disposal if he is going to find a way to win The Progenitors’ War.
