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.
