Publisher's Summary

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.

Preface Spoils The Plot

The author's new preface inexplicably relates an important spoiler, as he enjoys a victory lap, that has been a key question driving the narrative and is not revealed until the sixth chapter. What is the author thinking? The book itself and the performance are excellent.
