Joe is just an ordinary boy until he makes a wish on a spooky Egyptian amulet...
Now he's the Protector of Undead pets!
A 1959 classic 'hard' science-fiction novel by renowned Cambridge astronomer and
cosmologist Fred Hoyle. Tracks the progress of a giant black cloud that comes
towards Earth and sits in front of the sun, causing widespread panic and death.
A select group of scientists and astronomers - including the dignified
Astronomer Royal, the pipe smoking Dr Marlowe and the maverick, eccentric
Professor Kingsly - engage in a mad race to understand and communicate with the
cloud, battling against trigger happy politicians.
In the pacy, engaging style of John Wyndham and John Christopher, with plenty of
hard science thrown in to add to the chillingly credible premise (he manages to
foretell Artificial Intelligence, Optical Character Recognition and
Text-to-Speech converters), Hoyle carries you breathlessly through to its
thrilling end.
