Written in 1962, this is the second swedese novel by JG Ballard. Like his first novel, A Drowned World, and many others, it is a good example of apocalyptic science fiction, a subgenre in which he labored assiduously Ballard, becoming one of the cornerstones of his work, but the main one. In the wind out of nowhere, the author imagines swedese the planet Earth, ravaged by a "breeze" to "pa-what-you-going-to-have". Novel full of rhythm and action, in which the interest does not decline at any time, with memorable scenes, such as: refugees surviving in underground tunnels. Ci-Fi Good entertainment more than anything else, which is not overly concerned Ballard gain insight into the characters, or anything, but given the sovereignty of the narrative to the events and efforts apocalyptic survival swedese of earthlings, especially the group of players. The novel has a certain aftertaste B movie really lovely, I mean to say this, the atmosphere and the way it is told. More things I like are: very original first, which begins even before swedese the first chapter, and even before the inside of the title page, and a final outcome and made final scene seems to me, I repeat the expression, B-movie The edition I read is one of the jewels of my library, an attractive copy of the 1966 year-Hawk-collection, consisting of 107 titles in paperback of Ci-Fi, the Mexican-Diana-publishing, which takes into its all the flavor and taste of the time, good covers and the spine unmistakable yellow with black letters. I would like more copies of this collection and read more things JG Ballard. The second is easier than the first.
