Books by John Wyndham, Marcel Battin, Cover by Andy Bridge

1. John Wyndham, The Day of the Triffids .  A remarkably readable and indeed prescient British work from 1951, you’ll find so much of the science and speculative fiction of the last few twenty years in here, a bit of Saramago too.  What if most (but not all) of the world goes blind but then has to fight-off plant-like invaders which turn out to be more intelligent than we had thought?  Underrated.
