Praise for John Wyndham "The best writer of science fiction that England has ever produced."
–Stephen King "Wyndham was a true English visionary, a William Blake with a science doctorate."
–David Mitchell "[Wyndham] did more than any other British writer since H. G. Wells to make science fiction popular. . . . His plots, however fantastic, were characterized by inventiveness, clarity and a profound sympathy for mankind."
–The New York Times "[John Wyndham] singlehandedly invented a whole pile of sub-genres of science fiction. It's as if . . . he was plugged in to the world's subconscious fears and articulated them one by one in short, amazingly readable novels."
–Jo Walton
