A review by nineteenthly
The Pool of Fire by John Christopher

5.0

Loved it. My favourite of the trilogy was 'The City Of Gold And Lead' but it's great to see how an apparently primitive culture can find ways of overcoming a much more advanced one. One thing: The technological progress seems remarkably fast at the end but presumably it's because the way has already been trodden once. Also, that spaceship was bloody massive!
