Yes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. My major new fantasy trilogy (all finished!) consists of SPINE OF THE DRAGON, VENGEWAR and GODS AND DRAGONS. My newest Dune novel with Brian Herbert is THE HEIR OF CALADAN, end of a new trilogy. I also love my Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series—newest one is DOUBLE-BOOKED— humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. My steampunk fantasy adventures, CLOCKWORK ANGELS, CLOCKWORK LIVES, and CLOCKWORK DESTINY, written with Neil Peart, legendary drummer from Rush, are some of my very favorite novels ever. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series.

I have written more than 175 books, including 59 national or international bestsellers. I have over 24 million books in print worldwide in thirty languages. I've been nominated for the Nebula Award, Hugo Award, Bram Stoker Award, Shamus Award, and Silver Falchion Award, and I've won the SFX Readers' Choice Award, Golden Duck Award, Scribe Award, and New York Times Notable Book; in 2012 at San Diego Comic Con I received the Faust Grand Master Award for Lifetime Achievement.

I have written numerous bestselling and critically acclaimed novels in the Dune universe with Brian Herbert, as well as Star Wars and X-Files novels. In my original work, I am best known for my Saga of Seven Suns series, the Terra Incognita trilogy, the Dan Shamble, Zombie PI series, and Clockwork Angels and Clockwork Lives with Neil Peart. Along with my wife Rebecca Moesta, I am also the publisher of WordFire Press. Find out more about me at wordfire.com, where you can sign up for my newsletter and get some free fiction.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad really...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2009
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I got quite excited when I found there was a "sequel" to the mighty War of the Worlds, so I ordered this book, it comprises a collection of short stories written by authors pretending to be famous people from the turn of the last century.

    Not too bad really, some are almost pointless and rely on alternate paths to historical events such as Roosevelt's Rough Riders in Cuba (not very exciting, bit on an anti climax to be honest)

    The Churchill story was a plagiarised rehash of his South African adventures, almost taken directly from the film "Young Winston"?

    However I found the Jules Verne story quite good, the Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling stories were very engaging, although because they're short stories its all over too quickly, each one makes a reference to HG Wells, some subtle others quite distracting and irritating, the majority are from an American perspective.

    All in all, give it a try, at the very least it passes the time!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Vergnügen für den Freund klassischer Science Fiction
    Reviewed in Germany on 13 January 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Wer die klassischen Romane von Wells, Verne & Co. zu schätzen weiss, kommt hier auf seine Kosten.
    Vorausgesetzt, er kann einigermaßen "fluent" Englisch lesen.
    Die Idee, historische Zeitzeugen zu Wort kommen zu lassen , ist schlichtweg genial.
    Manches regt zum Nachdenken an, wie z. B. die Inavasion Chinas.
    Jack Londons Geschichte ist tragisch und herzzerreissend, während der Versuch, Paris zu erobern dann doch grandios scheitert.
    Und ich habe mir nach der Lektüre fest vorgenommen, endlich mal etwas von Emily Dickinson zu lesen.

    I found this to be a very entertaining book, with accounts by several writers of how various people around the world would have experienced the events of the original H. G. Wells "War of the Worlds".

    If you enjoyed the original War of the Worlds and the setting at the turn of the 20th Century then you will like this book.
    What would it be like to have the most famous people of that time tells what really happened in their own way with the invasion? A very good read with some surprises here and there.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is Awesome!
    Reviewed in the United States on 3 May 2013

    War of the Worlds is a great book, one if my all time favorites, I have read it several times and never tire of it. I also am a big fan of the 1954 George Pal movie and even the not as good Tom Cruise version. When reading the original book, I always wondered what happened in other parts of the world? The story of the Martian attack on England is well told, but what happened in China, Africa, Russia and America? This book fills in many of those missing stories. The Martians come from a cold dry place so a hot wet place like central Africa might be difficult for them. A hot dry place like Arizona might not be good for them. And just how do they handle a cold wet place like the Yukon? Electricity does not mix well with wet. Martians are used to cold but don't do well in hot. I loved the book. Part of my hobby is making miniature soldiers and I cobbled a few Martian war machines out of some Happy Meal toys. I posted photos on my blog. Mike Bunkermeister Creek [...]

    4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Perspectives for a classic tale
    Reviewed in the United States on 31 December 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I've always wondered about the story possibilities based around the idea of what other countries would've gone through during the ORIGINAL War of the Worlds. This story 'scratches that itch' quite well, and provides a plethora of different perspectives from a wide variety of both historical and fictional characters from this time frame, and even has some good mythos crossovers (Barsoom, Cthulhu Mythos, etc.) as well.

    I highly recommend tracking down this book.
