What a great title!

...the movie version, and it being a pretty good (for low-budget) effort. The book looks absolutely classic!

I've just watched it on DVD. Set in England with British actors but still fairly faithful to the book. Very 1960s!

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).

Yep, that's the one...

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