About this audiobook
Bill Masen works with triffids - an animalistic plant with poisonous venom, a wicked stinger and the ability to move around on three 'legs'. Hospitalised when he succumbs to triffid venom in a lab accident, Masen misses seeing a world-changing night - a quirk of fate may just save his life... Strongly influenced by H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, Wyndham's post-apocalyptic novel displays some similarities to Wells' seminal sci-fi work yet it remains an enduring classic in its own right, bursting with imagination and startling inventiveness.
