Collins does a great job bringing Welles to life, complete with his towering ego. Instead of ruining his career, the broadcast made the creator of the radio show-Orson Welles-a very famous man. To me, it's almost unbelievable that no one was killed in that panic. The murder mystery takes place around the time of the famous (or infamous) Halloween 1938 broadcast of HG Wells' "The War of the Worlds." This is the broadcast that caused a panic in America as so many listeners believed that a Martian invasion was occurring. I enjoyed this book so much that I just read it a second time, something I can't do often as there are so many books I want to read for the first time! I like it because it brings to life 1930s America and the world of radio. ![]()
