This 1984 omnibus edition of THE TRIPODS collected John Christopher's trilogy of (brief) TRIPODS novels (The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead and The Pool of Fire) to tie-in with the BBC adaptation.
Unfortunately, this (or any of the individual editions) turned out to be the only way to find out how the saga wrapped as the BBC, who had stretched the slim storyline considerably (and forgotten the golden rule: we were tuning in to see the titular Tripods!), decided to cancel the trilogy two-thirds through the story.
