Summary:
Bill Masen works with triffids – an animalistic flower with poisonous venom, a wicked stinger and the ability to maneuver around on three ‘hip and legs’. Hospitalised when he succumb to triffid venom in a laboratory accident, Masen misses seeing a world-changing evening – a quirk of destiny might just save his lifestyle…Strongly influenced by H.G. Wells’ The Battle from the Worlds, Wyndham’s post-apocalyptic book displays some similarities to Wells’ seminal sci-fi function. Yet, it remains an enduring traditional in its own right, bursting with imagination and startling inventiveness.
