The influential masterpiece of one of the twentieth century's most brilliant—and neglected—science fiction and horror writers, whom Stephen King called "the best writer of science fiction that England has ever produced."—now in development as a miniseries directed by Johan Renck.

"[Wyndham] avoids easy allegories and instead questions the relative values of the civilisation that has been lost, the literally blind terrоr of humanity in the face of dominant nature. . . . Frightening and powerful, Wyndham's vision remains an important allegory and a gripping story."—The Guardian

I'd be all over this if I hadn't found a 1st edition dead tree version at a used book store years ago (sadly, too beat up to be worth $$$, but an awesome read).

Be sure to checkout The Midwich Cuckoos. Especially if you liked Stephen King's The Dome.

Never used the eBooks.com site before -- is that the best option for downloading and side-loading onto a Kindle (esp for sharing with others in the household once I'm done)?

(Edited for clarity -- changed "eBooks" to "the eBooks.com site")
