New Book! Pendragon 2: The Lost City of Faar
Press and Pendragon travel through the Flume to a water-covered territory called Cloral where they use water-powered water sleds to get around. They use face-molding bubbles to breathe underwater. Press and Bobby make it past the Shark-Quigs to get picked up by the unbeknownst to himself traveler Spader. They race vehicles called Skimmers back to the floating "Habitat" called Granillion which is in charge of producing food for Cloral. They drink Sniggers (Reverse Moxie (The best soda in the world)) and get to meet each other in a bar. Bobby and Press get jobs on Granillion, and start to get to know the territory of Cloral. Later on tradgedy strikes as a different territory collides with Granillion because all of the people on it are dead. Press, Spader, and Bobby are attacked by Saint DAne, but escape back to Granillion. Spader's father was killed on the other Habitat, and Spader changes personality dramatically as he prepares to avenge his father.

Bobby saves his uncle from the Quig via a dog whistle given to him by Mark and Courtney. The travelers all escape through the Quig pen, and upon arriving back at the Milago camp, they find out that the Milago have discovered a mineral that is highly explosive. Unfortunately the batteries brought onto Denduron by Bobby provided the perfect trigger for a massive bomb the Milago are planning to use to annihilate the Bedoowan. This is the actual turning point of Denduron, and the travelers must stop the Milago from committing genocide of the Bedoowan, because then the Milago would use their new found mineral (Tak) as a weapon against the rest of Denduron causing global chaos. Fortunately, Bobby comes up with a plan to stop the crazed Milago by using a combination of Quig-and-uncle-Press-power and the element of surprise to spear the arm of the kamikaze mission leader against the bomb, and they disarm it by washing it away. Meanwhile, the second wave of the Milago attack is beginning, as Milago tribesmen attack with Tak-filled slingshots. Bobby and Loor follow Figgis (Merchant discoverer of Tak) to the Tak mine to find out he is actually Saint Dane. Bobby gets attacked by a shark Quig sent by Saint Dane as he was fleeing the Tak mine, which Bobby lit the fuse to exploding. Loor get knocked out, and Bobby safely gets them both thrown off of a cliff into the ocean. The Bedoowan castle blows up, the two tribes strike up a fair allegiance, and Bobby and Press head out to the next mission set on the water-covered territory of Cloral.

As we left Bobby Pendragon, he was passed out on a sled in a three-sunned medieval territory called Denduron. Soon he found himself in a cottage with a traveler, Osa and her haughty, disapproving daughter, Loor. After learning he had to write journals and send them to his down-to-earth friend, Mark. He then went to bathe in a nearby river, and tackled Loor into the river after seeing a soldier from the nearby evil Bedoowan tribe. They went downstream, Bobby learned that Loor couldn't swim, and Bobby navigated both of them to safety. The soldier turned out to be a friendly traveler named Alder. Bobby starts planning his escape from Denduron, and is lead down to the mines where the lowly Milago tribe is forced to work inhumane conditions for the valuable mineral, glaze. He also learns that if the Milago do not mine enough glaze, Saint Dane, disguised as a general from the Bedoowan tribe, kills one of the Milago in a ceremonial glaze transfer. Meanwhile, back on Second Earth, Mark tells Bobby's crush, Courtney about the situation, and she eventually believes him as they discover a message saying for them to meet Bobby at the subway flume with specific objects, required to rescue his Uncle Press from the clutches of the evil Bedoowan.

Recently, I spent two weeks doing my best to forget everything that had any remote relation to school, and as a result, I got a bit behind with my summaries. Since my last post, I have read several books, continuing on with both the Pendragon Series, and exploring other books. I will post a brief summary of the other pendragon stories at another time, and perhaps revisit them when I am not bogged down with the weight of six different books...
