When a light aircraft crashes into the Thames at Shepperton, the
young pilot who struggles to the surface minutes later seems to
have come back from the dead. Within hours everything in the
dormitory suburb is transformed. Vultures invade rooftops,
luxuriant tropical vegetation overruns the quiet avenues, and the
local inhabitants are propelled by the young man's urgent visions
through ecstatic sexual celebrations toward an apocalyptic climax.
In this characteristically inventive novel Ballard displays to
devastating effect the extraordinary imagination that has
established him as one of the twentieth century's most visionary
writers.
