Pendragon: The Merchant of Death

Since this is my first post about a book, I should probably tell you a little bit about the Travelers. They are a group of people (one from each territory--we'll get to that in a minute) who can travel to different territories, a.k.a. demensions, through tunnels called flumes. There is at least one flume on each territory, but on some, like Denduron, there are two. Each of the ten territories are about to reach a turning point, or a moment in time that decides the future of the territory. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "That's awesome, but where's the story here?"

Now it's time to introduce you to Saint Dane. I'm sorry. You'll wish you'd never met him. He's the reason there's a story here. Saint Dane is an interdemensional, shapeshifting demon who wants to push all that has been, all that will be, into chaos. Halla. That's what every thing is called. So the Travelers' mission is to stop Saint Dane from succeeding in his demonic plan. Their goal is to keep interdeminsional peace and let the territories continue on their natural paths. Bobby Pendragon is a Traveler.


The first book takes place on Denduron, a primitive territory with three suns. That's right. Three. Suns. Three suns. Saint Dane is here and he's taken a different form. I won't say who it is, because you'll find out early in the book. He wants to push the two tribes on this territory, the Milago and the Bedoowan, into war (*cough cough* chaos *cough cough*). They're already close, because the Bedoowan have enslaved the Milago and forced them to work in the mines, where there are poisinous gases. Bobby and his Uncle Press, with the help of Loor and Osa from the territory of Zadaa, must work against the evil forces of Saint Dane. Will their efforts be enough?

If you weren't going to already, go to the nearest library or bookstore and pick up Pendragon: The Merchant of Death. You won't regret it.

The Pendragon Series

Before I start into writing about this wonderful series, I would like to thank D.J. MacHale for writing it. He has created a wonderful adventure, in which I have read eight of the books included and hope to finish soon. I also want to warn anyone reading that this blog will soon contain spoilers to books 1-8. Enjoy!

And so we go.
