#0.1. When the Tripods Came (published 20 years after the main trilogy)
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, with three metallic arms,
snacking out to embrace—and then discard—their helpless victims.
Three evil beings, called Tripods, which will change life on Earth forever.
#1.0 The White Mountains
Will Parker never dreamed he would be the one to rebel against the Tripods.
With the approach of his thirteenth birthday, he expected to attend his
Capping ceremony as planned and to become connected to the Tripods—huge
three-legged machines—that now control all of Earth. But after an encounter
with a strange homeless man called Beanpole, Will sets out for the White
Mountains, where people are said to be free from the control of the Tripods.
But even with the help of Beanpole and his friends, the journey is long and
hard. And with the Tripods hunting for anyone who tries to break free, Will
must reach the White Mountains fast. But the longer he’s away from his home,
the more the Tripods look for him…and no one can hide from the monstrous
machines forever.
#2.0 The City of Gold and Lead
When Will and his friends arrived at the White Mountains, they thought
everything would be okay. They’d found a safe haven where the mechanical
monsters called Tripods could not find them. But once there, they wonder about
the world around them and how they are faring against the machines.
In order to save everyone else, Will and his friends want to take down the
Tripods once and for all. That means journeying to the Tripod capital: the
City of Gold and Lead.
Although the journey will be difficult, the real danger comes once Will is
inside the city, where Tripods roam freely and humans are even more enslaved
than they are on the outside. Without anyone to help him, Will must learn the
secrets of the Tripods—and how to take them down—before they figure out that
he’s a spy…and he can only pretend to be brainwashed for so long.
#3.0 The Pool of Fire
After being held captive in the City of Gold and Lead—the capital, where the
creatures that control the mechanical, monstrous Tripods live—Will believes
that he’s learned everything he needs to know to destroy them. He has
discovered the source of their power, and with this new knowledge, Will and
his friends plan to return to the City of Gold and Lead to take down the
Masters once and for all.
Although Will and his friends have planned everything down to the minute, the
Masters still have surprises in store. And with the Masters’ plan to destroy
Earth completely, Will may have just started the war that will end it all.
