«The Kraken Wakes» is the science fiction novel by John Wyndham, published by Penguin in paperback (240 pages, in English).
The novel recounts how humanity faces an unknown threat: ships sinking without apparent cause and fireballs crossing the sky above the ocean trenches. The story, seen through a radio scriptwriter and his wife, shows civilisation cracking before an alien force that emerges from the depths.
The novel was originally published in 1953; John Wyndham is also the author of 'The Day of the Triffids'.
Aimed at readers of classic science fiction and fans of alien invasion and global catastrophe stories.
