A different take on War of the Worlds


Except this time we are invaded by alien plant life. Again they they die fortuitously from one of Earth's natrual attributes..salt water. The story has good suspense although the triffids seem a bit laughable. Great material for a remake.

I read Wyndham's book, THE KRAKEN WAKES and concluded that he was a big fan of H.G. Wells as it is also similar to WAR OF THE WORLDS. Have not read THE CHRYSALIDS but plan to someday.
