The Pendragon Adventure: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

A series of modern fantasy books written by DJ MacHale. Each book is divided into two viewpoints. The journal segments, detailing the adventures of Bobby Pendragon, the main character, who is whisked away from his [[Ordinary High School Student]] life by his Uncle Press, via a magical gate called a flume hidden in the subway systems of New York City. The other part follows Bobby's best friends, Mark and Courtney, who get into a bit of trouble themselves, despite lacking the ability to travel to alternate worlds. Each world is called a territory, and every territory has a Traveler, filling various roles. Every territory is reaching a turning point, which will radically alter the fate of that world. The Travelers exist to make sure that the turning points, and the destiny of the territories, go the way they naturally would, without outside interference. Obviously, if this was all there was to it, it'd be pretty uneventful. Enter Saint Dane, a sadistic [[Magnificent Bastard]] who wants to push the territories towards chaos, destroying the barriers between them, so he can reshape Halla (everything that has, does, or ever will exist) [[In Their Own Image|in his image]]. The series consists of 10 books, with the final book released May 12, 2009.

** {{spoiler|All the travelers get this power once they arrive in Solara. They have to use it very sparingly though. Bobby only ever turns to smoke with it.}}

** Hilarity ensues when Bobby tries to use it himself without actually knowing how it works, and it boiled down to him trying to will it into happening:

* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Saint Dane's tried this ploy as well. Bobby never gives in.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Saint Dane was this in his mind... {{spoiler|until his [[Moral Event Horizon]]}}
