About this ebook

Let the Games Begin....
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.

Ratings and reviews

It's my favorite from all the series, by far! I love the dystopian feel of it! The cruel games and the depressing tone may set some fans apart, but trust me, it's one of THE best. I ended up depressed after reading the book, but I just love it. Not to mention this book is crucial in the series. It's in all extent, a 5-star gem! :)

I am absolutely... stunned. Still, I figured a lot of this would happen. I've always had this wierd gift for knowing what was going to happen in a story before it did. I'm not going to give any would be spoilers, though I have a lot. I will say this however: The odds are 50 50 that this series has a simple, satisfying ending. As to the actual book, the story was perfectly and subtly crafted. I was on edge from beginning to end!

I won't spoil for you readers but there is a big plot twist. It was so perfectly done too. Really cant wait to read the next book. In fact I'm getting it after I finish this review.
