I mostly got the feeling that, with the invasion of the aliens who take the form of giant wasps, I was reading some obscure (a quality that often shows up in regard to Roberts) metaphor about industrialism. I note also that a pastoral England, a theme of the two other Roberts novels I've read, Pavane and Kiteworld, shows up here, his first work. I don't think it really worked to combine two disasters: huge earthquakes as the result of nuclear weapons testing (though I never got the feeling Roberts was doing a critique of nuclear testing -- it mostly just seemed a convenient device) and an alien invasion. Nor did Roberts ever really deal much with depicting (apart from a good scene where a man is murdered when he tries to stop an escape from the wasp camp) the drama of social breakdown a la John Christopher. I sensed that Roberts heart really wasn't in this book though it was his first. Or, perhaps, he was just floundering and discovering his style since his later books are much different in subject and style. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
