Next up, IDK. After importing recent purchases from my oasis into calibre and deleting read books, I still have 54 books on it that I haven't read. I'll pick one later this morning.

You might want to check out The Day of the Triffids, (also by John Wyndham), and also made into a film.

In my opinion, Wyndham is an author who moves beyond the limitations of genre.
