The link you gave was kind of sketchy on details: But is this the one where the meteors land in a "V", seem to be taking over people, there's a mysterious facility being built, rockets being launched to the Moon (now there's something easily hid!), and The Master in the Moon who releases his captive human in order to extend the hand of peace, etc.?
If so, one of my favorite low-budget British efforts, along with the movie version of Leinster's "The Wailing Asteroid", plus the various Dr. Who and Quatermass movies (the only way us poor colonials saw either, for years and years).

The book is out of copyright, IIRC, so you should be able to get it at Project Gutenberg and the like.
The movie is a lot of fun. In many ways, it parallels "This Island Earth" (the movie, not the original book). And there's even a touching scene with the demise of a robot that still brings a tear to my eye...

Must look out for the movie of The Wailing Asteroid. I have the book somewhere.
