This is the granddaddy of all alien invasion stories, first
published by H.G. Wells in 1898. The novel begins ominously,
as the lone voice of a narrator tells readers that "No one
would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century
that this world was being watched keenly and closely by
intelligences greater than man's..."
Things then progress from a series of seemingly mundane reports
about odd atmospheric disturbances taking place on Mars to the
arrival of Martians just outside of London. At first the Martians
seem laughable, hardly able to move in Earth's comparatively
heavy gravity even enough to raise themselves out of the pit
created when their spaceship landed. But soon the Martians reveal
their true nature as death machines 100-feet tall rise up from
the pit and begin laying waste to the surrounding land. Wells
quickly moves the story from the countryside to the evacuation
of London itself and the loss of all hope as England's military
suffers defeat after defeat. With horror his narrator describes
how the Martians suck the blood from living humans for sustenance,
and how it's clear that man is not being conquered so much
a corralled.
