Description: Winner of the 2002 British Fantasy Award for Best Novel, this gripping sequel will delight fans of John Wyndham's original work. The Day of the Triffids, John Wyndham's classic bestseller, is one man's description of dooms-day: almost the entire population has gone blind, and the world has a new master--the monstrous triffid plant. The novel ends with its narrator, Bill Masen, leaving the British mainland with his wife and son to join a new colony on the Isle of Wight. In The Night of the Triffids, which takes place in the 29th year since the fall of the old world, David Masen, Bill's now grown-up son, wakes one morning to discover that the world has been plunged into darkness. The few sighted people have their artificial lights, but once more the triffied has the advantage. Setting off to find the cause of the darkness, David finds himself stranded. Eventually rescued and taken to New York, he discovers a very different sort of colony, prosperous and technologically advanced. But this sophisticated society hides an evil secret--and David is about to come face to face with an old enemy from his father's past.
