"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 and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water." ~ Martians, war, annihilation. Extinction. Escape or die. Run or be eliminated. Hide or perish. Takeover of the Earth had begun, but the human race will not go down without a fight.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are two of Lewis Carroll's brilliant classics.
