Web by John Wyndham



This is John Wyndhams last book. It was only discovered ten years after he died.

In Web a rich aristocrat Sir Fox, has bought an island and has made a program to establish a Utopian society on it. However, when they explore the island, they find it is ruled by vast colonies of ultra-evolved spiders, who hunt in intelligent packs and are capable of killing humans. They try to fight them off, but when the local tribe who live on a nearby island break through their defences and let the spidres in, there are only two survivors. Theygo on a mission to discover where these spidres came from, who the tribe is and how they can survive.

This is an excellent book, and i recommend it to anyone who likes gore, mystery and other john Wyndham books. 10/10   L.B
