Author H.E. Wilburson brings us the closing chapter to his War of the Worlds sequel with Lake on the Moon. As the book opens it's during the original Martian Invasion in 1906 and Ogilvy has been in the hospital since the fall of the first Martian cylinder. The hospital is overrun with the Red Weed and Ogilvy decides to take a bite of it. The Red Weed nearly kills him but it also sends his mind into it too. There he meets 3 other Ogilvys and a George and he learns that it is because of the Ogilvys that the Martians invaded. Then we flash forward to the end of World War 1 and the Spanish influenza that swept across the planet in 1918 and we come to find out that the shadow weapon that the Martians created has been pointing at Earth from one of the Luna craters making it look like a lake. This is a great sequel to the War of the Worlds and I highly recommend it to all science fiction fans.
