Story:
The Martians unchain a direct assault to our planet, with hundreds of invulnerable ships. The invasion takes place all over the world, and all the major cities are destroyed one after one–even the atomic bomb can’t stop them. But if the humans can’t beat them, who can? Maybe something MUCH smaller….
