Product Description |
This is where it begins. The showdown for Halla. At stake is nothing less than all that ever was and all that will be.
There's only one thing missing--Bobby Pendragon.
While Bobby remains trapped on Ibara, the battle moves to his home territory: Second Earth. Mark Dimond and Courtney Chetwynde are left on their own to defend Second Earth agsinst 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.
The Convergence has broken down the walls. The territories are on a collision course. The final phase of Saint Dane's quest to rule Halla is under way.
And Bobby Pendragon is nowhere to be found. |

Disappointing |
Having read all the books up to this point, I was expecting a great cliffhanger ending. What I got, however, was not at all what I was expecting.
I don't want to give away the ending, but after reading this book, I felt somewhat like I had wasted my time reading the rest of this series. All the action up to this point has, including most of the action in this book, seems to have been for naught, and it is only now, with the upcoming final book, that the real battle begins.
While fans of the series will likely still enjoy this book, it left me thinking that this series has just gone on a little too long, and should have been resolved one or two books ago. |

Great book, a must read. I did not put it down until I was done. Can't wait for the final book. |

AMAZING!!! |
|
This book is amazing! It has suspense and lots of action. In my opinion this is the best book of the series so far. Bobby Pendragon has grown up and is totally different from the 14 year old in book one. |

It's NOT Over Yet |
|
I like the Pendragon books. The different worlds are all very interesting and trying to figure out what the turning points along with the characters keeps you engaged with the story. Having said that, I felt that this whole book was the lets watch the hero be stupid so that when he gets his act together later it will be more impressive part of the story. Now I can stand that for a chapter or two, but not a whole book. It got very old for me very quickly. All that you need form this book to get to the last one is a page or two on the few actions important to the plot. I do hope that the next book, the "hero has his act together" book is awesome, and answers all our burning questions. But if you can just barrow this one from a freind or libary, do it. This is not a must own. |

not the best |
|
although the first 8 books were amazing and real pageturners, this one was a bit hard to keep up with. machales writing style was not top quality and quite repetitive. it was like the entire series led up to this 1 book and everybody was expecting it to go out with a bang but it turned out to have a quite weak plot and did not live up to the reputation of the series. but overall an interesting and worthwhile read |
