When Bobby Pendragon first arrives on the tropical world of Ibara, he finds paradise. As he works to uncover clues about the turning point this seemingly idyllic territory will soon face, all he can determine is that the people of Ibara are blissfully happy. It’s not long before Bobby discovers, however, that they are blissfully . . . oblivious.
The leaders of Ibara are keeping a devastating secret from their people, one that gives Saint Dane all the opportunity he needs to launch his final assault on Halla.
VOYA
Fans of Bobby Pendragon have been circling the library like hungry sharks, waiting for this eighth volume of the series. It will not disappoint, packed again with nonstop action, mind-boggling plot twists, and well-imagined locales. Bobby and Courtney travel to First Earth to stop Mark, who has fallen under the influence of Saint Dane, from inventing the robot killing machines that infect the future of all of the worlds of Halla. Saint Dane, however, is one step ahead and lures Bobby away to the mysterious island of Ibara. Courtney is left to save Mark on her own, in a world in which she has little clue how to behave. Bobby realizes that he must begin to play the game by Saint Dane's rules if he and Halla are to survive. The Convergence draws near, and Bobby is growing desperate to stop the evil that is slowly engulfing the Territories. MacHale gives readers a new, darker Pendragon, one who breaks rules, fights to kill, and sadly loses faith in himself and all hope of ever defeating Saint Dane. The tone is grimmer, there is more violence, and the body count is higher than in any of the previous volumes. Courtney, however, finally gets to shine as she embarks on an equally desperate quest of her own. The final showdown is being set up, and the author is taking no prisoners. The book ends on a twist so stunning that those shark-like fans will be back in full force, begging for volume nine.
