English sci-fi author John Wyndham (he also wrote "Day of the Triffids") took fantastic situations and wrote about them in a realistic way, much like his predecessor H.G. Wells. I'm not sure why he's not better known, as his books are unusually intelligent, provocative and well-written. This was the basis for the film "Village of the Damned," in which a bunch of alien children take over a town. The book is less a thriller and more a speculative novel about how people would actually react to such a scenario. And "Midwich Cuckoos" is an awesome title.
