Summary
In the final book of John Christopher's classic series, Will Parker returns to the headquarters of the Resistance after several months in the City of Gold and Lead. He travels to Eastern Europe and the Middle East to set up resistance cells with young boys who question the power of the Tripods.
When they are able to capture one of the Tripod 'Masters', they unlock a secret that they use in attempt to finally wrest control of the earth from the Tripods, and maybe - just maybe - save humanity.

Great to hear again
Not heard this since the late 70s and early 80s so great to hear it again. Even if it's a kids book, it still holds up to an adults ears.

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 Pool of Fire is the third book and continues the longing to follow Will's challenges to escape; his life as a slave to discover the Tripods life style and use it against them. 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.

Very enjoyable
When you get the first two series of the tripods on dvd and realise the third book was never turned into a TV series … it finished on a cliffhanger in series 2 ‘has it all been for nothing ‘… this audiobook finishes it off very nicely . Was great going back to this series as a child of the 80s.

The much bigger struggle
The best and most realistic ending to the story one could have possibly have wished for.

Not Just for Young Adults
Having enjoyed the BBC Tripods series as a teenager, I couldn't resist trying the audiobooks. As this is a 'young adults ' series, my expectations were not high, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Although not without plot holes, the story moves forward at a pace, and young Will's excitement, enthusiasm, and rashness all make for a very engaging narrative. This is complemented by the excellent narration of William Gaminara. I thought initially to only listen to the first book, but ended up getting the whole trilogy. Highly recommended!

Dated
Strangely, the presence of the alien tripods seems to have corresponded with the absence of any female characters. It's ok. It wraps things up but is a disappointing, and very dated, conclusion to the trilogy.
