From: Dave Godwin <godwin@ICSE.UCI.EDU> You said your son was fifteen years old ? Try John Christopher's 'Tripods' trilogy, The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead, and the other book I can't quite think of. I read these at about that age and enjoyed them quite a bit. Is anybody besides me watching the BBC Tripods series on PBS ? What do you think of, both as a television effort and as a comparison to the books from which it springs ?

I think that it took too long to get into real science fiction
concepts. By the time it did, my interest started to flag a bit.
But it is getting considerably better.
