Sobre este artículo
New York: E.P. Dutton, [1988]. First U. S. edition. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket with a small closed tear at the base of the spine panel. A sharp copy of scarce book. (17868). Octavo, cloth backed boards. Precedes the British edition. Prequel to the tripod trilogy, the fourth novel featuring the tripods. "...this prequel serves chiefly to describe the establishment of the core of resistance that appears at the opening of THE WHITE MOUNTAINS.... it has the same swift action and sense of menace that has made the original books popular." - Kirkus Reviews, April 1988. See Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-244.
Sinopsis
Long ago, the Tripods--huge, three-legged machines--descended upon Earth and took control. Now people unquestioningly accept the Tripods' power. They have no control over their thoughts or their lives. But for a brief time in each person's life--in childhood--he is not a slave. For Will, his time of freedom is about to end--unless he can escape to the White Mountains, where the possibility of freedom still exists. The Tripods trilogy follows the adventures of Will and his cohorts, as they try to evade the Tripods and maintian their freedom and ultimately do battle against them. The prequel, When the Tripods Came, explains how the Tripods first invaded and gained control of the planet.
