Title: Wanderers of Time
Author: John Wyndham
Category: Fiction
Page Count: 160
Rating: 3.5/5
This book is okay I guess, but there wasn’t a huge amount of depth to it. Then again, Wyndham was writing under a pseudonym here and so perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised. It’s clearly of lesser importance to him than some of his more well-known stuff like The Day of the Triffids, and that’s okay.
It wasn’t bad, either. It’s just a pulpy sci-fi time travel tale, a perception that was helped by the physical attributes of the copy that I had, which was from about 1972. Even with the tiny print, 160 pages isn’t a lot of space, and so it’s the kind of book that you can whizz through in a day or two and then completely forget about.
Would I recommend it? Yes for Wyndham fans and sci-fi buffs, otherwise probably not. It’s of its time.
