And now, the sequel to The White Mountains (booklogged here), in which our protagonist, now living in the small Swiss community of free humans, joins in a mission to infiltrate the city of the Tripods, under cover as one of their slaves, and discover information about them and theit ultimate plans for Earth.
It's hard to give too much information on the plot without spoiling the book for future readers, but it's no spoiler to say that the high quality of characterization and setting continues from the first book, and - it occurs to me to mention, since the copyright date here is 1967 - that it hasn't dated badly as so many SFnal books do. Plot-wise, it gets even better than the first book.
Recommended for both its intended YA readers and for non-YA readers looking for a read that while short, is also good quality.
