Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

In the sleepy English village of Midwich, a mysterious silver object appears and all the inhabitants fall unconscious. A day later the object is gone and everyone awakens unharmed - except that all the women in the village are discovered to be pregnant.
The resultant children of Midwich do not belong to their parents: all are blonde, all are golden eyed. They grow up too fast and their minds exhibit frightening abilities that give them control over others and brings them into conflict with the villagers, just as a chilling realisation dawns on the world outside . . .
The Midwich Cuckoos is the classic tale of aliens in our midst, exploring how we respond when confronted by those who are innately superior to us in every conceivable way.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Midwich was a quiet English village where nothing ever happened. But then one night, a curious occurence resulted in the village being cut off from the outside world for a day - and the inhabitants were unable to remember anything. When all the women of child-bearing age subsequently become pregnant, it is clear that something very strange is happening. And when the babies are born - all blonde, all golden-eyed, all telepathic - the villagers become even more afraid... This chilling apocalyptic thriller was adapted as the classic 1960 science-fiction film, Village of the Damned, which starred George Sanders and Barbara Shelley.
