When the Tripods Came

When it comes to alien invasions, bad things come in threes. Three landings. One in England, one in Russia and one in the United States. Three long legs crushing everything in their paths. Three metallic arms snaking out to embrace – and then discard – their helpless victims. Three evil beings, call tripods, which will change life on this planet forever. In this gripping start to The Tripods series, an English schoolboy struggles to free himself from the Tripods…and then devise a plan to destroy them.
