In the second book of John Christopher's classic series, Will Parker and his cohorts have spent a year living among the free men in the White Mountains. The Resistance charges them, now wearing realistic yet harmless caps, to infiltrate a Tripod city by competing in a sporting exhibition called "the Games" (very similar in nature to the Summer Olympics), in which the winners of the events are to be offered to the Tripods for service.

Works really well. Written as a novel for youth , it meets my standards .
Can't wait for the final installment of the trilogy.

Excellent read

The second book is a venture for kids into the world of science fiction. Descriptions just enough to let the mind wander as to what it might be like in the city, or under a mask. Again the narrator has done a great job.

For kids and adults
