A little more than a century ago, the Martians invaded the
Earth for the first time. Despite their crushing technological
superiority, the invaders were brought down by bacteria, and
lost the war.
But some time after this bitter failure, the Martians tried again
and, better prepared this time, they won. Since then, the Masters
have penned the humans in gigantic enclosures and bred them like
animals. Because the Martians feed on their blood.
In the London cage, George, a male who has been bled for the
first time, develops an odd relationship with a young Master.
And what he discovers as the weeks go by is not really like anything
he has been taught : could it be that the Masters have not
always been the humans' protectors ?
La Cage de Londres : a mesmerizing sequel to The
War of the Worlds, one of the greatest science fiction classics
of all time.
