REVIEWS OF TONY WRIGHT'S NEW NOVEL, 'THE WAR OF THE WORLDS: AFTERMATH'.
'H.G. Wells believed novels should transcend the artistic. For him they were an opportunity to educate and motivate Mr Everyman. Through the years countless sequels to H.G. Wells novels have been written by fans around the world. Unfortunately many of these devoted 'fanfic' authors have tended to focus on continuing Wells's storylines more than expanding on his original messages, meaning their sequels tend to lack the spirit, energy and endurance of the original story. Tony Wright has written a story that expands on the great The War of the Worlds and entertains as much as it embraces Wells' original spirit - without becoming maudlin or lapsing into simple plagiarism. A rare feat.'
