The Kraken Wakes is a science fiction novel by John Wyndham, first published in 1953.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })As witnessed by the married British reporters Mike and Phyllis Watson, mysterious fiery objects falling from space into the Earth's oceans are the beginning of a series of strange events; it is eventually discovered to be the work of aliens from another world, apparently one with a much thicker atmosphere so that they feel more at home in the ocean depths and may not even be able to survive up in the air. Attempts to investigate them go badly, and it turns into a war for control of the planet. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| The Kraken Wakes / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: An at-least-they-tried example from a Penguin edition that shows an ocean liner being sunk/attacked by an alien bio-tank. Ships do sink in the novel, and there are alien bio-tanks, but they never appear in the same scene. (Also the bio-tank on the cover doesn't look anything like the tanks in the text.) | |

| The Kraken Wakes / int_978937d6 | comment |
Brand X: Mike and Phyllis work for the EBC (English Broadcasting Company). It gets extensively lampshaded — a Running Gag is that every character is introduced saying "don't you mean BBC?", and later gets subverted, when the government takes over the media and the narrator explicitly mentions that the EBC and BBC are now one and the same. | |

Alien Invasion | |
| The Kraken Wakes / int_f56aeb67 | comment |
Alien Invasion: Wyndham wrote the book as a different take on this trope than the film version of The War of the Worlds which came out at the same time. | |
