This is where it begins. The showdown for Halla. At stake is nothing less than all that ever was and all that will be.

Mark Dimond and Courtney Chetwynde are left on their own to defend Second Earth against the forces of Saint Dane. They must face off against a charismatic cult leader who has risen to power by revealing a shattering truth to the people of Earth: They are not alone.

And Bobby Pendragon is nowhere to be found.

love it

narrator is amazing, books are awesome and I don't know what I'll do after the last book!

.decent

wasn't bad didn't really like the voice of the guy reading but the story is really good

Great book!

Great story overall! I really like the pendragon series. The reason I rated it 3 stars for story is because in a few of these last books it seems that there is lots of holes in the plot line and some of it is to obvious to ignore, it effects the entertainment value of the story for me. But overall a great book series.

Another great book in the series

I remember reading these books as a kid and they were amazing but the narrator does a phenomenal job of bringing the story to life. Makes it sound like a book made for audible.

Loved it, as I do all of them.

Glad I got the audio books of a series I loved as a teen. would recommend.

Amazing!

This whole experience has been wonderful and fantastic! I'm sad that there is only one book left in the series! But the performance by William Dufris is utterly amazing and entertaining!

great series I enjoyed these books as a teenager

great Series I enjoyed these books as a teenager and decided to listen to them at a older age an there still great.

So good. FINALLY ONTO THE LAST ONE!

100/100
This book series is amazing. I've been listening to it for a long time and now I'm finally going on to the last book.

What a great story!

This is such a great series. There’s so many ups and downs in these stories. It is not a cookie-cutter story in any shape, form or fashion. I hate that I only have one book left, but I’m also excited to see the conclusion of the sale.

The Mystery Box Grows Ever Larger

SPOILERS BUT MOSTLY GENERAL NOT SPECIFIC...STILL BE WARNED



Series starts strong, and DJ is good at giving a tour of a whole society in a few encounters, just enough to reveal what Saint Dane (vaguely communist pseudo villain) is doing. Bobby must always be in the dark and so must the reader. By this point it feels like the other stories weren't much more than plot to drive the stories that happen after the territories were visited. The traveler powers do expand the technical scope of the story but the worlds are so similar to ours it could have honestly been the three earth books and maybe two books of jetting around and battling across the territories, because again, all the characters feel like lessons for Bobby to learn and Saint Dane (D.J.?) impersonates more people than perhaps all the travelers combined. There's some rather strange setups by Saint Dane and his cooky cronies, with that classic societal lecturing he's grown fond of. Old stories are mentioned and that's about it. I recommend reading about past civilizations and historical events, as well as pursuing philosophy if the premise of the series intrigued you. Yes I'm a good deal older now after reading the first six, but other young adult novels do not age simply because I'm not that age. I've actually started new young adult series and have enjoyed them quite a lot. I think the scope simply became too big and the original shine gave way to random encounters that can fill the book, but that also made things quite predictable in the overall direction and the stakes are non-existent because the philosophy undermines tension by bringing in real world dilemmas that get resolved with space magic.
