Feb 26, 2001Alien Megalithic Artefacts Reactivated
The fourth and final of Nigel Kneale's Quatermass stores, which shows the professor as an old man in decaying future Britain trying to deal with an alien force manifest through ancient megaliths. A surprisingly bleak and cynical end to the saga but still with the greatness of Kneale's writing
