![]() Surprise! This is another post-apocalyptic story, which is kind of a shame, because it ends up echoing a lot of the ideas in the Tripods trilogy. ![]() Before the chapter is out, Luke idly traces the faint outlines of old words written on a piece of wood: RADIO & TV DEAL. We learn some more about the city where he lives, a medieval-sounding place with a Prince and his captains, wagons on the roads, horses in the fields, etc. ![]() The story begins with Luke, a young man, visiting a colony of dwarves who work with arms and armour at a great forge. I count Christopher’s Tripods trilogy among the best young adult science fiction I’ve ever read, so I was interested to see him do fantasy. This is the first volume in John Christopher’s “The Sword of the Spirits” trilogy, which is aimed at young adults. The Prince in Waiting by John Christopher (1970) 160 p. ![]()
