I read these over 40 years ago and reread them recently. I was surprised, from my perspective, how well they have held up and how much I enjoyed reading them again as an adult. They are short in length, but therefore concise, with very little that draws away from the tension of the central conflict. As an aside, the abysmal BBC series adaption is available on Youtube, and did I already say abysmal? This series merits a serious and mature adaptation to film. I am left the rare feeling of wanting more, and note that I have read the prequel as well. It's still satisfying after all of these years. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Harsh Lessons *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2014* The second book in this trilogy finds Will, Beanpole and a boy named Fritz embarking on a dangerous journey to participate in a contest being held in a distant town. Basically it's an Olympic type of challenge where the strongest contestants win the dubious honor of serving the Masters inside their domed city.This book is much more grim than the first. The boys are no longer on an adventure to a hazy place in the distance. Their eyes have been opened to the world as it really is and with that knowledge comes the loss of a good deal of childhood. This journey will be more harrowing than the first in many respects.They learn harsh lessons along the way. Such as when they must learn that someone being nice it doesn't necessarily make them a friend. That they must not allow the lure of an easy life turn them aside from their goal. And, perhaps the most dispiriting lesson of all, that all too often people are perfectly willing to stay on the sidelines, believing it's best to fit in and not make waves.One of the things I recognize and appreciate more now is the author's belief in the power inherent in children. The great thing about kids is their ability to think beyond the norm. Since they don't already think they know how things are supposed to work they naturally think outside the box and will keep at it, which leads to action. Their lack of education and experience allows them to believe that anything is possible.Perhaps even bringing about the downfall of their alien overlords. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pool Of Fire- Book Two of the Tripod Trilogy *by G***B on Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2017* John Christopher was one of the greats. The Tripod trilogy (later he wrote a prequel) begins with the White Mountains. I would suggest a reading level of about 8th grade with comprehension ability to match. Sometimes kids have trouble with the time it takes for world building. The premise of the trilogy is that humans are begin subjugated by mind control. City of Gold and Lead is the second in the trilogy and takes the reader into one of the cities of the Masters. The third book, Pool of Fire brings the epic battle for freedom on earth to a close. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/5452860-the-city-of-gold-and-lead-2-the-tripods](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/5452860-the-city-of-gold-and-lead-2-the-tripods) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
