'The Sun Bird was beginning to travel fast, close to the edge of
the whirlpool. They could look right down into the hollow of
spinning water' While flying over Africa's New Sea, a water project
in the heart of the Sahara desert, Mark Sunnet's rocket plane
crashes and is sucked through a hole in the desert floor into a
strange, cavernous new world. There, he and his partner Margaret
encounter the survivors of an ancient race of underground dwellers
whose whole existence is now threatened. Captured and forced to
live with other prisoners taken from the surface, the pair know
that they must escape before the waters above drown them all . . .
The Secret People, published in 1935, is John Wyndham's first
novel. 'Perhaps the best writer of science fiction England has ever
produced' Stephen King
