Fifty-two years later, this horrifying story is a science fiction classic, touted by The Times (London) as having "all the reality of a vividly realized nightmare."

Bill Masen, bandages over his wounded eyes, misses the most spectacular meteorite shower England has ever seen. Removing his bandages the next morning, he finds masses of sightless people wandering the city. He soon meets Josella, another lucky person who has retained her sight, and together they leave the city, aware that the safe, familiar world they knew a mere twenty-four hours before is gone forever.

But to survive in this post-apocalyptic world, one must survive the Triffids, strange plants that years before began appearing all over the world. The Triffids can grow to over seven feet tall, pull their roots from the ground to walk, and kill a man with one quick lash of their poisonous stingers. With society in shambles, they are now poised to prey on humankind. Wyndham chillingly anticipates bio-warfare and mass destruction, fifty years before their realization, in this prescient account of Cold War paranoia.]]> 36332 3.83 5160 467 1951 826845 0140013083 9780140013085 91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178729403m/826845.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178729403s/826845.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/826845.The_Chrysalids 3.86 1141 THE DEVIL IS THE FATHER OF DEVIATION
BLESSED IS THE NORM

When David is old enough to realize that, while not visibly abnormal, mentally he - and others - are different, more than human, he is terrified of discovery. He lives in a land threatened by the twisted mutants of the cursed Fringes, a land where genetic conformity is the Will of God, and any quirk, from a minor quirk to a body-warping distortion, marks the sufferer as non-human, to be cruelly abused and ruthlessly cast out.

If their ability to communicate using thought alone is found out, David and his friends could be in terrible danger. They would have to run - but where to? And who is this new, distant thought-voice they can hear? Could it be from the impossible glittering cities that David has dreamt of, places from the past, from before God sent this terrible earth-scorching destruction to punish the wicked? And might it hold the key to their freedom...?

It was published as co-written by John Wyndham & Lucas Parkes, but they were different pen-names for the same writer. He had used the pen-name Lucas Parkes earlier in his career. Unlike most of his novels, The Outward Urge was closer to typical hard sf & his publishers decided they wanted to use the Wyndham & Parkes byline because it was "not your usual Wyndham style".
It's future history set from 1994 to 2194. With chapters at 50-year intervals, it tells the story of the exploration of space, with space stations in Earth orbit, then moon bases, landings on Mars in 2094, Venus in 2144, & the asteroids. This is told thru Troon family members who play an important part in the exploration of space, since they all feel "the outward urge", the desire to travel further into space. They all "hear the thin gnat-voices cry, star to faint star across the sky"--a quote from The Jolly Company by Rupert Brooke.
In 1994 "Ticker" Troon is killed foiling a Soviet missile attack on a British space station, & is later awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross.
In 2044 a major nuclear war between the USSR & the West wipes out most of the Northern Hemisphere, leaving Brazil as the main world power, which then claims that "Space is a province of Brazil". However Australia eventually emerges as a serious rival.]]> 36332 3.83 5160 467 1958 636418 0340173068 9780340173060 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/636418.Wanderers_of_Time 3.64 14 36332 3.83 5160 467 1977 2276012 1596870559 9781596870550 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2276012.My_Favorite_Fantasy_Story 5.00 1

Wells and an influence on such innovators as Ray Bradbury and Margaret Atwood.</P></DIV>]]> 36332 3.83 5160 467 10453 3.70 206 23 71213 2.75 4 1 2009 6241510 0450033295 9780450033292 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6241510.A_Sense_of_Wonder 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 7610 3.65 607 66 83359 3.93 666 73 412383 4.22 23 2 1974 5064310 387070361X 9783870703615 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5064310.Es_geschah_am_Tage_X_Die_vergessene_Welt 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 2448 4.06 40579 2647 1990 964818 0905712463 9780905712468 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/964818.Selected_Works 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 1980 6339437 0194792641 9780194792646 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6339437-meteor 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 1999 5064300 3518379747 9783518379745 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5064300.Die_Kobaltblume_Erz_hlungen_Phantastische_Bibliothek_202_ 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 1987 5064297 3426057417 9783426057414 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5064297.Eiland_der_Spinnen_ 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 1986 6559195 8000011883 9788000011882 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1245531484m/6559195.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1245531484s/6559195.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6559195-z-ludn-vesm-r-johna-wyndhama 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 2003 7173759 1602837813 9781602837812 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7173759-the-kraken-wakes 0.0 0 </DIV>]]> 36332 3.83 5160 467 2009 2953016 0970734999 9780970734990 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2953016.No_Place_Like_Earth 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 2003 6734742 0194216551 9780194216555 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6734742-meteor-and-other-stories 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 1991 6478138 0718113209 9780718113209 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6478138-man-from-beyond-and-other-stories 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 1975 6584865 1405861134 9781405861137 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6584865-web-cd-for-pack 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 2008 6339435 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6339435-myths-of-ife 0.0 0 36332 3.83 5160 467 2008 163905 0185058116 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172329127m/163905.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172329127s/163905.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/163905.Fantastic_November_1958_Featuring_John_Wyndham_s_Troons_of_Space_ 0.0 0 Volume 7 No. 11, November 1958
