1938 has been a bad year for Orson Welles. Radio executives are fed up. Theater audiences are bored. Hollywood won't give him the time of day. Before it begins, his career may be over. He is also the key figure in an interplanetary conflict that has raged for eons. Humanity's doom is coming, and its first target is Orson Welles. Now he must fight to survive and repel the invading forces from another world. The boy genius will use any trick he has available. He would also prefer people not call him "boy genius" sarcastically, but that's a different struggle. Before the Martian ships came, he was merely an actor. Now he must become the defender Earth desperately needs. He must become a legend... He must become Orson Welles of Mars.
