Wells in 1897, serves as a possible precursor to \u003ci\u003eWar of the Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e. A shop owner buys the contents of a bankrupt antiques shop, and in the contents he finds a crystal ball. He thinks nothing of the ball, until one day he notices it emitting a glow. When he looks into the ball, he gets a fleeting view of a landscape. As time passes, the views become more defined, and strange beings appear. The ball becomes a secret part of his rather dull and unhappy life until a customer attempts to buy the ball. Now what? And can those strange beings also see our world through the ball? Remember, in 1897, life on Mars was a very real possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Door Audiobooks","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49384201781552,"sku":"BDc4cn","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/131267-c4cn-Square.jpg?v=1735095527","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-c4cn","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
