Surprisingly relevant for such an old book, and great fun to boot. The author writing is lucid - just the way I like it, and the characters are well formed. John Wyndham weaves a believable Post-apocalyptic world!
Español
Esta es una novela corta de ciencia ficción que se desarrolla en un mundo post apocalíptico en el que la humanidad lucha por reconstruir todo lo perdido durante una gran catástrofe, sin embargo, aquello perdido no es tan claro ya que la humanidad sobreviviente no cuenta con registros de las diversas tecnologías del mundo moderno. A todo esto, se le añaden unos elementos muy a lo X-men, así es, mutantes.
Ame demasiado este libro, me encanto, mi única queja va a ser que no tenemos más libros de este tema.
English
This is a science fiction short novel that takes place on a post-apocalyptic world in which humanity struggles to rebuild everything lost during a great catastrophe, however that what was lost is not so clear since the surviving humanity does not have records of the various technologies of the modern world. To all this, some very X-men elements are added, that's right, mutants.
I loved this book too much, I loved it, my only complaint is going to be that we don't have any more books on this subject.
