Part 8/10:
The three friends, alongside Ben, regroup amidst the wreckage of their world and determine to uncover the aliens’ motivations. Their resolve and camaraderie shine through as they dodge the perils of invading tripods, stealthily navigating the city, until they come across a landing ship filled with alien eggs. A daring rescue unfolds when Ogilvy heroically manages to detonate a grenade, freeing himself from capture, but not without the cost of Ben’s life.
With one of their own lost, the young astronomers press on through the desolate remnants of London, seeking cover in the sewers. Their discussions reflect a mix of determination and curiosity about the changes they might encounter in their world post-invasion.
