<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I am trying to locate a book for a patron, but we cannot find the correct title. Hopeful that the reference librarians among us can provide ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Patron describes the book as: science fiction. H.G. Wells appears as a character in the book. The premise is that the events of the War of the Worlds (alien invasion) actually happened, and
HG Wells (and the other characters) use time travel to stop the events from happening. The setting is the same time period as the War of the Worlds (early 20th century). The patron thought that H.G. Wells was the main character, but that perhaps Orson Welles
was also in the story, or maybe that Welles was the "Wells" in the book, instead of H.G. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The patron recalls reading the book when they were a middle school student (2013 or 2014), and that the book was in a teacher's collection, although the content and reading level were higher
than middle school level. He asked about the title online, but did not receive any helpful results. The book was definitely published before 2018.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I searched for the title using Talpa Search and requested both "the Martian War" and "the Map of the Sky" for the patron. He did not recognize either cover, so I am looking for additional ideas. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Thank you for your assistance!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
