I'd be amazed if you can't find Wynham's "Midwich Cuckoos". It's a 
classic of Brit SF literature, like The Chrysalids and War of the 
Worlds. It was made into the movie "Village of The Damned" (and remade 
later with Christopher Reeve). There were also a few spinoff movies such 
as "Children of the Damned etc.

Now that I think of it, I'm surprised Hawkwind have never done a song 
based on this.
