This was not nearly as good as I had anticipated. It's billed as an exciting, even horrifying, tale, yet I felt none of that while reading. Rather, the story seemed to lack forward momentum, the premise contrived so as to allow Wyndam to pose questions about human nature in the face of trauma and disaster. Characters spend quite a bit of time talking and thinking about their situation, what it means, and who and how they should be. The writing is good but, knowing what I do now, I wouldn't choose to read it again.
