The Seeds of Time

1969John Wyndham

4.8/5

John Wyndham writes of these stories as "The intention of Chronoclasm, in the comedy-romantic, was to entertain the general reader and break away from the science-fiction enthusiast. Pawley’s Peepholes is satirical farce. Opposite Number attempts, with perhaps qualified success, the light presentation of a somewhat complicated idea. For Dumb Martian and Survival I tried to use the pattern of the English short-story in its heyday. Compassion Circuit is the short horror-story. A neo-Gothick trifle, could one say? And finally there is Wild Flower where one has encouraged science-fiction to try the form of the modern short-story.The stories are;ChronoclasmTime to RestMeteorSurvivalPawley’s PeepholesOpposite NumberPillar to PostDumb MartianCompassion-CircuitWild FlowerJohn Wyndham wrote the novels The Day of the Triffids, The Kraken Wakes, The Chrysalids,The Midwich Cuckoos (filmed as Village of the Damned), Trouble with Lichen, The Outward Urge, Consider Her Ways and Others, Web and Chocky.This collection contains good examples of his famous works.Enjoy!
