Wanderers of Time
Wyndham John
John Wyndham wrote strong, imaginative fiction years before fame came his way, and this is a collection of some of his pieces from those days.
Already remarkable are his sense of movement, his sense of invention, his sense of style. The title story of this collection foreshadows frighteningly such later novels as THE KRAKEN WAKES and THE MIDWICH CUCKOOS with its suggestion of time when man is no longer the dominant creature on Earth.
The early stories in this collection showed promise. One of the stories ("The Puff-Ball Menace") is about a species of deadly plant that threatens humanity. The story "Wanderers in Time" is about a collection of time travellers from different periods who find themselves on a future world where man no longer rules the planet. The Earth belongs to a very different, yet quite common, species. And The Last Lunarians and Derelict of Space show how well he researched his material, Iong before space ships had struck out for the moon and the idea of inter-planetary travel had become commonplace.
