約翰·溫德漢姆(John Wyndham),英國著名科幻作傢。
In 1951 John Wyndham published his novel The Day of the Triffids to moderate acclaim. Fifty-two years later, this horrifying story is a science fiction classic, touted by The Times (London) as having “all the reality of a vividly realized nightmare.”
Bill Masen, bandages over his wounded eyes, misses the most spectacular meteorite shower England has ever seen. Removing his bandages the next morning, he finds masses of sightless people wandering the city. He soon meets Josella, another lucky person who has retained her sight, and together they leave the city, aware that the safe, familiar world they knew a mere twenty-four hours before is gone forever.
But to survive in this post-apocalyptic world, one must survive the Triffids, strange plants that years before began appearing all over the world. The Triffids can grow to over seven feet tall, pull their roots from the ground to walk, and kill a man with one quick lash of their poisonous stingers. With society in shambles, they are now poised to prey on humankind. Wyndham chillingly anticipates bio-warfare and mass destruction, fifty years before their realization, in this prescient account of Cold War paranoia.

記得前言裏就寫瞭溫德姆的文風和內容像威爾斯,確實感覺如此,說是拿英國中産階級的人物當主人公,其實就是社會中相當典型的普通人當主人公吧。看的時候想起來英國人拍的並被他們譽為“世界上最好的科幻電影”的《驚變28天》,許是為瞭嚮這部作品緻敬,電影裏的主人公也是...
評分當我讀這本書時,幾乎是十年前的事瞭。 當初,嗯,小毛孩子一個,又紅又專,看的東西積極陽光且催人奮進……突然,一本封麵嶄新的《三葉草在行動》就闖進瞭我的視綫(當時閑工夫多的令人發指,我就在本市的少兒圖書館辦瞭藉書證,每周光顧,風雨無阻,而科幻小說當時乃是“少...

評分當年抱著這本書一直看到淩晨。不是看地下世界曆險記,而是在看《三葉草在行動》這個中篇的價值足以超過把它隱藏起來的地下世界曆險記。這迴四川總算發行單行本。我在日食前曾幻想書中的這一幕:即看太陽的那些傢夥們都瞎瞭眼,於是三葉草開始瞭在行動。。。。科幻故事總是那麼...
