Book Details:Paperback edition published by The Hamlyn Publishing Group Limited, London, 1977. Sleeve notes:The Pool Of Fire is a superb climax to the 'Tripods' trilogy, which began the The White Mountains and continued with The City of Gold and Lead. Will Parker is chosen first as a decoy in the capture of a Tripod with one of the Masters, then as a member of one of the three teams chosen to attempt to destroy, from the inside, the cities of the Masters. In the final desperate and agonisingly crucial attack on the remaining city, when the future of the world hangs in the balance, Will again plays a vital part. An almost unbearably exciting book for older readers. Book Source:Terry Jenkins |
