The City of Gold and Lead

Tripods Series, Book 2

De: John Christopher

Narrado por: William Gaminara

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.

one of my favorites.

I hope they make it into a movie series some day, that would be fantastic.

Greatest book

This book is really really really really really really really really really really really good. It is uniquely amazing

Success in spite of human weakness.

Will is a protagonist that leads me to encourage as we'll be frustrated as he struggles to be true to the mission he's on.

For kids and adults

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.

Great family listening (tweens and up)

We love this trilogy! My 12 year old son couldn't wait to get back in the car after school and listen to more. My 15 year old daughter was not opposed to listening. Each book has left us wanting more.
