Quillan is a territory on the verge of destruction. The people have lost control of their own future and must struggle simply to survive. The only chance they have of finding a better life is by playing the Quillan Games. Hosted by a strange pair of game masters, Veego and LaBerge, the games are a mix of sport and combat. They use the people of Quillan as pawns for their amusement as they force them to enter competitions that range from physical battles, to impossible obstacle courses, to computer-driven tests of agility. To triumph in the games is to live the life of a king. To lose is to die.
This is the dangerous and deadly situation Bobby Pendragon finds on Quillan. He quickly realizes that the only way to save this troubled territory is to beat Veego and LaBerge at their own games and dismantle their horrible fun house. But there is more at stake for Bobby. The prize for winning the Quillan Games may be discovering the truth of what it really means a Traveler.
Pendragon The Pendragon Series is exceptional. It is imaginative and fast moving. It is especially a great series for middle school students because it is about a boy of their age group. Not only that, but it is about a boy who struggles with problems, yet chooses to be a good person. He follows his conscience and opts to do what he knows and feels is right, not taking the easy way out. Pendragon is a teen-age hero who makes mistakes but owns up to them, learns from them and becomes a better person because of them. Each book is exciting and creative---leaving you on the edge of your seat.
The Quillan Games (Pendragon) The Quillan Games (Pendragon) The book was exactly the same as described on the description for the book. It was brand new and I was satisfy with it.
The Quillan Games (Pendragon) D. J. MacHalle do it again. A great book, with many twisting plots. Always bringing new hanging points to the series.
Very sad, very funny, and full of evil clowns with guns! Muhahaha! This book had me confused for white a long time. I thought at first that this was more of comedy than action/adventure. But then at the very end a traveler turns sour and it turns into another Reality Bug. Very sad and serious. I didn't know what to think at first but than I decided Bobby probably didn't either. One of the best parts of the whole book is where Bobby is running in a forest getting chased by clowns. As you find out, Bobby hates clowns. he than prceeds to rant about how much he hates clowns and especially the ones who are trying to kill you. I liked this book even though it wasn't my favorite it was still very good.
Pendragon: The Quillan Games Victory is the way out of the Quillan games. Would you rather be a brainwashed civilian or a Challenger fighting for life everyday? A Challenger by day and a Traveler by night Bobby Pendragon lives a double life. In this epic fantasy a teenage boy fights the evils of Saint Dane for his seventh time. In the past six books Bobby has flown through flooms to different territories and time periods. The Quillan Games describe what a currupt enterprise can do to a weak society. There are many things a teenage boy should not experience but Bobby does it all in this excellent book. D.J. MacHale uses strong language while Bobby is in the field of battle and delicate when it is needed. This fast-passed first person novel is perfect for any young adult that enjoys spreading their mind into uncharted waters. There are so many twists and turns in this book there are hardly any stopping points.
