Book Review: Not good...
Summary: 1 Stars
I can only imagine that this book was written based on a television series of the 60's/70's. The fact that Sir John Mills is on the front cover may impart a shred of quality, but I am afraid that too much has been lost in the media translation.
Basically, earth is in a state of anarchy; society has broken down and an epidemic of violence is sweeping the world. A cult of the brainwashed youth is gaining power and roaming the countryside, gathering at the old Pagan sites of worship (Stonehenge, Carnac, etc). An unknown entity is blasting the world from outer space, indiscriminately killing anything in its scope of fire. Proffessor Quatermass has to sort this out, reorganise the depleted and deflated British government, whilst searching for his granddaughter, who could be anywhere in the world. Russians defect into England, South Africans are 'renta-cops' and only the nations pensioners can save the world. Confused? I was.
