(p.10) Note: Apart from the new Prologue, no alterations have been made to the text. From Chapter Two onwards, Childhood's End remains exactly as in 1953.
This is an absolutely outstanding, albeit disturbing, tale of the future. It is simply amazing that it was written in the 1950s. I place it in a category of must read science fiction.
