The Day Of The Triffids

Author(s): John Wyndham

Sci-fi & Fantasy

Bill Masen, bandages over his wounded eyes, misses the most spectacular meteorite shower England has ever seen.

He soon meets Josella, another lucky person who has retained her sight, and together they leave the city, aware that the safe, familiar world they knew a mere twenty-four hours before is gone forever.
