This is one of the few Wyndham books I haven't previously read, and I think it's one of his better works. According to some accounts, it's his response to War of the Worlds (the first movie adaptation came out the same year this book was published), and it definitely stands up well against that earlier classic. And for a book that's almost seventy years old, it's surprisingly prescient, even today.
Definitely one to read if you're interested in early sci-fi, especially early invasion sci-fi.
