The Fallen Children by David Owen
3.0

Interesting retelling of John Wyndham's The Midwich Cuckoos. It's both better and worse than the original. While there's a much more compelling emphasis on the stories of the women who were forcibly impregnated by the aliens, the alien Children are much less interesting here - and much less scary - than they were in Wyndham's version.
