Publisher Description

Simon and Brad face their greatest danger yet—and discover the secret of the fireball—in the third book of the alternative history Fireball Trilogy, from critically acclaimed Tripods author John Christopher.

When Simon and Brad were caught in the mysterious fireball—a whirling ball of light that sucked them into a bizarre alternate world—they knew a terrifyingly different future was ahead. The world on the other side was geographically identical to their own, but the societies and history were completely new...and full of danger.

Discovering a pagoda in California was strange enough, but when Simon and Brad are captured by slavers headed to China, the future seems even more hazardous. Especially when they are banished to a remote mountain retreat with the mysteriously powerful Bei-Kun...and come face-to-face with the secret of the fireball.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

At the start of Christopher's Fireball trilogy, cousins Brad and Simon were thrown into an alternate world where the Roman Empire still held sway. From England they journeyed to and across a primitive America of Algonquins and Aztecs. This concluding volume (the first two were Fireball and New Found Land finds the boys staying with a California tribe, from which they are captured and brought to China. There they are befriended by the lonely teenage Emperor, but palace intrigue soon sends them away to the mountain religious retreat of Bei-Kun, a sect with unusual mental abilities. While grappling with this new discipline and their own beliefs, they unthinkingly propose mechanical concepts that help overthrow the Emperor. This is vintage Christopher; he introduces provocative ideas and their practical consequences in the course of a lively, colorful adventure. (10-14)
