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.

Great Story
Love the tripods series and the narrator on these. Sometimes the wrong narrator spoils a great book. But the one on this fine.

An enticing tense story and hard to stop listening
I read the first book as a young man. I remembered the series title decades later and wanted to finish. What an enticing story with many twists and turns. There are many tense periods and always intellectually fascinating. The narrator builds excitement and his choice of character voices is excellent. I look forward to the next book. Well Done!!

Still good years later
Great to hear this again. I recall this being an English lit book at school in the early 80s! It's interesting to recall some of the mental images that stuck with me all those years, I was surprised how much I remembered. Highly recommended.

The best book of the trilogy!
For me, this is the best book in the Trilogy - it's got everything a reader could want - suspense, mystery, revelation, and adventure. Highly recommended.

A whole new world.
The audio books and my kindle have opened up a whole new world to me. Having had reading difficulties throughout my early life I am now able to enter a whole realm of adventure. I have devoured the Tripods series The City of Gold and Lead is the second book and continues the longing to follow Will's challenges and struggles to evade capture; to escape; his life as a slave to discover the Tripods life style. I never ever considered I would become a bookworm but I'm well and truly hooked and can't wait to listen to the next chapters. If you like adventure, science fiction and suspense, the whole series is a must and i'm so glad I purchased them.
