Summary
In a decade marked, much like our own, by simple fears, John Wyndham refused to make simple metaphors. -M John Harrison
A world paralyzed by genetic mutation: Wyndham takes the reader into the anguished heart of a community where the chances of breeding true are less than fifty percent and where deviations are rooted out and destroyed as abominations.
