Book Description
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, snaking out to embrace -- and then discard -- their helpless victims.
Three evil beings, called Tripods, which will change life on this planet forever.

Classic. A must read for any science fiction lover.
閱讀的感覺和本傳三部曲差不多,以電視來催眠洗腦的手法不能說很新 穎,但對預設讀者群來說也算驚奇。主要的重點還是在主角一家人如何 從英國逃到阿爾卑斯山的冒險過程。
對我而言,卷首的作者序反而比較有趣。Christopher 提出了一個把科幻當預言的人往往都會遺漏的觀點:「只要對未來做出 某種看似精準的預測,就有可能犯下幾百個甚至幾千個錯誤。」好在他 不把補洞和釋疑當作撰寫本前傳的主要功能,否則可看性就降低許多。 不過,他在序裡頭提到「主人的巨型太空船在地球軌道上環繞了好幾年 」,結果他居然沒有同時說明太空俱樂部的國家為何全無發現的疑點, 反而留下更大的破綻。好在這個背景設定不在故事中 ... Continue

我還是很好奇他所提到的那位知名科幻作家是誰...... 不太可能是新浪潮那一掛,他們對科技的真實程度沒有太大興趣;A rthur C. Clarke 呢?Christopher 曾親自請教過他,似乎也不會另外放砲;新一代的英倫硬科幻作家群 又還沒出道......
