Machale, D.J. The Quillan Games. NY: Simon & Schuster, 2006, 486 pages. (Fantasy/ Sci-fi)
In this novel, Bobby Pendragon finds himself on another adventure through Halla, the universe. In this part of Bobby’s quest to defeat the evil traveler, Saint Dane, he goes through the flume, a teleporter only travelers can use, to the gaming planet of Quillan. Here, he meets people who take gaming seriously because it is the only way to make life for your family better. When he arrives in Quillan, he finds out a super-company, Blok, controls everything. He encounters spiders and super-humans who are called D.A.D.O.S. He is then forced to compete in the Quillan games with life and death stakes. Meanwhile, on Second Earth, they place we live, Courtney Chetwynde, bobby’s childhood friend and rival, is recovering from a near death experience. Courtney then finds out that that Mark, a friend of theirs, has gone to a different territory with Saint Dane who was disguised as their middle school bully, Andy Mitchell. On Quillan, a group of rebellious citizens, called the Revivers, is trying to overthrow Blok and regain their lives. Bobby has moved onto the finals of the games, the Grand X. Will Bobby survive and make it home? Will the Revivers help the turning point on Quillan? Will Mark ever come home?
You will have to read the book to find out. I recommend this book to anyone who likes action, fantasy, and comedy. This book is the seventh one in the Pendragon series. I would read the other books in the series so you will get the concept of travelers and Halla. If you are a person who has good taste in books, this book will taste good to you.
