«A Torrent of Faces» is the science fiction novel by James Blish and Norman L. Knight, published by Arrow Books Ltd in paperback (272 pages, in English).
In the year 2794 humanity is so overpopulated that it lives in enormous sealed cities on land and ocean, with synthetic foods and submarine and interplanetary colonies run by committees. That precarious ecological balance is shaken when a meteorite is detected on a collision course with Earth.
The work includes the novella 'The Shipwrecked Hotel', nominated for the Nebula Award, and among its stories appear the tritons, humans modified to live in the sea.
Intended for readers of science fiction and dystopias who enjoy overpopulated futures and large-scale catastrophes.
James Benjamin "Jimmy" Blish was an American science fiction and fantasy writer. He is best known for his Cities in Flight novels and his series of Star Trek novelizations written with his wife, J. A. Lawrence. His novel A Case of Conscience won the Hugo Award. He is credited with creating the term "gas giant" to refer to large planetary bodies.
