FROM THE CLASSIC SCI-FI WRITER AND AUTHOR OF THE CHRYSTALIDS AND
THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS Now a modern reimagining starring Keeley
Hawes and Max Beesley available to watch on Sky. 'Exciting,
unsettling and technically brilliant' Spectator In the sleepy
English village of Midwich, a mysterious silver object appears and
all the inhabitants fall unconscious. A day later the object is
gone and everyone awakens unharmed - except that all the women in
the village are discovered to be pregnant. The resultant children
of Midwich do not belong to their parents: all are blonde, all are
golden eyed. They grow up too fast and their minds exhibit
frightening abilities that give them control over others and brings
them into conflict with the villagers just as a chilling
realisation dawns on the world outside . . . The Midwich Cuckoos is
the classic tale of aliens in our midst, exploring how we respond
when confronted by those who are innately superior to us in every
conceivable way.
