The Kraken Wakes Author: John Wyndham

ISBN: 9780141032993 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 240 Published: 7 August 2008 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 20.1 x 13.9 x 1.6 Description:

It started with fireballs raining down from the sky and crashing into the oceans' deeps. Then ships began sinking mysteriously and later 'sea tanks' emerged from the deeps to claim people. . .

For journalists Mike and Phyllis Watson, what at first appears to be a curiosity becomes a global calamity. Helpless, they watch as humanity struggles to survive now that water - one of the compounds upon which life depends - is turned against us. Finally, sea levels begin their inexorable rise and the world looks set to drown. . .

The Kraken Wakes is a brilliant novel of how humankind responds to the threat of its own extinction and, ultimately, asks us what we are prepared to do in order to survive.
