Cuckoos lay eggs in other bird's nests. The clutch that was fathered on the quiet little village of Midwich, one night in September, proved to possess a monstrous will of its own. It promised to make the human race look as dated as the dinosaur.

John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Benyon Harris was born in 1903, the son of a barrister. He tried a number of careers including farming, law, commercial art and advertising, and started writing short stories, intended for sale, in 1925. From 1930 to 1939 he wrote stories of various kinds under different names, almost exclusively for American publications, while also writing detective novels. During the war he was in the Civil Service and then the Army. In 1946 he went back to writing stories for publication in the USA and decided to try a modified form of science fiction, a form he called 'logical fantasy'. As John Wyndham he wrote The Day of the Triffids and The Kraken Wakes (both widely translated), The Chrysalids, The Midwich Cuckoos (filmed as Village of the Damned), The Seeds of Time, Trouble with Lichen, The Outward Urge (with Lucas Parkes) and Chocky. He died in March 1969.

Zustand: Aceptable. : En el tranquilo pueblo inglés de Midwich, un misterioso objeto plateado aparece y todos los habitantes caen inconscientes. Un día después, el objeto desaparece y todos se despiertan ilesos, excepto que se descubre que todas las mujeres del pueblo están embarazadas. Los niños resultantes de Midwich no pertenecen a sus padres: todos son rubios, todos tienen ojos dorados. Crecen demasiado rápido y sus mentes exhiben habilidades aterradoras que les dan control sobre los demás y los ponen en conflicto con los aldeanos, justo cuando una escalofriante comprensión amanece en el mundo exterior.'Los cuclillos de Midwich' es el cuento clásico de extraterrestres entre nosotros, que explora cómo respondemos cuando nos enfrentamos a aquellos que son innatamente superiores a nosotros en todos los sentidos imaginables.
