Product Description
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.

Jacked (USA: AZ) (2007/07/19):
Book is somewhat simple for older readers but I like the ideas and what the future is like. Steven Speilberg must have liked some of the descriptions of the tripods becuase they sure look and sometimes act like his in the war of the world. Somewhat casual ending but I am putting in for the rest of the books.
