– Customer review on 06/11/2006 Again, Wyndham uses telepathic children in a story. This time it is handled completely differently, unlike the coming of the superhuman story in The Chrysalids, the Midwich Cuckoos develops far more along the lines of a horror story.
An alien force impregnates all the women in the small town of Midwich. After all the pregnancies come to term, strange children are born, with strange abilities that pose a serious threat.
The various political and military forces must come to a solution that is ultimately palatable in England where this is happening. 3.5 out of 5.
