A review by dorisxdw
The Outward Urge by John Wyndham

4.0

Maybe even 4,5 stars, I really liked this one! I was a bit cautious because of the low rating but the description of the short stories following several members of of the Troon family over 5 generations and their part in space exploration was very intriguing. My favorites were the first and last short stories. The first story even had me shed a few tears and the last one was brilliant, especially when you finally figured out what was actually going on. However, the 4th story left me a little confused.
It is also very interesting to see how Wyndham imagined space exploration, as this book was released in 1959 and of course some things are very different.
