While I was out last week I picked up a copy of John Christopher's When The Tripods Came at the local library bookstore for a dollar (Okay, technically it was 50 cents, but I didn't have fifty cents, I had a dollar, so that's what they got). I remember reading this book, the prequel to his highly successful Young Adult Tripods series, some time ago, but I really remembered very little about it.

The thing I noticed most on re-reading it was how much the entire book is essential an Author's Saving Throw to handle the earlier series. And now I'm wondering if the necessity of making that Author's Saving Throw is why I just haven't seen much in that sub-genre recently.
