The Pilgrims of Rayne (Pendragon)
Date undefinedBobby Pendragon has returned in The Pilgrims of Rayne, and after his latest adventure on Quillan, he's ready to fight Saint Dane yet again. This time he's whisked off to Ibara, where he hopes to defeat Saint Dane once and for all. Meanwhile, on a distant planet, his best friend Courtney Chetynwyde is desperately trying to stop their other friend Mark from destroying all of Halla. Will Bobby Pendragon save Halla? Or will his longtime best friend destroy everything he has worked for?
The Pilgrims of Rayne was impossible to put down. It definetely lives up to the other books in the series. It's a worthwhile read!
The Pilgrims of Rayne (Pendragon)
Date undefinedBobby Pendragon's next territory in Halla is called Ibara. Ibara is a tropical paradise. It's sunny, warm, colorful, and the perfect place to go on vacation.
Seeing as this is Saint Dane's next targeted territory, Bobby figures there's more to this utopia than meets the eye.
After conversing with the Ibara inhabitants, Bobby realizes that everyone is very happy with the way they live, but later finds out that if you do not go by what the government (aka the tribunal) rules, you and your family will disappear.
There is a secret in Ibara that the leaders are not telling everyone. A secret that involves Ibara's past, other territories, and an opportunity for Saint Dane to conquer another territory.
While Bobby faces troubles his acolytes, Courtney and Mark, read his journals intently. When Mark's parents die in a plane accident, he disappears, leaving Courtney to wonder where he went. Uncovering clues to Mark's whereabouts, Courtney is faced with two realities. One- Mark is being manipulated by Saint Dane. And two- Mark has created a new technology that could compromise all of Halla.
Being the eighth book in a series of ten, I knew this installment would turn everything up a notch. It does not disappoint! This book has twists that will make you hold your eyes open in the dead of night and say, "One more chapter!"

The Pilgrims of Rayne (Pendragon)
Date undefinedD.J. MacHale is a writer, director, executive producer and a creator of several popular television series and movies. In book eight of the series "Pendragon" Bobby is faced with decisions that seem impossible to make. Such as, if Rayne is the real first domino to the destruction of Halla should he go against the traveler code and mix territories to save it. To reiterate, this is the eighth book in the series "Pendragon." Furthermore, he has made 91 episodes of the Nickelodeon series, "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" which talks about scary children's stories. Book eight of "Pendragon" is the latest book. This book is one of those which you just can't put down. There are always twists and turns in this series. For example, in the last chapter Bobby tries to stop Saint Dane, who by the way is the exact opposite of a saint, from destroying Halla by blowing up the portal so nobody can use it to get on or off the territory. For those who aren't reading this great series Halla is everything and every world, or "territory." But I digress, Bobby trapped himself on the territory to try and secure Saint Dane from leaving. Then in the Epilogue you find out that Saint Dane wanted this to happen. In conclusion, this series is one of the best book series I have ever read. Apparently I am not the only one because this series was awarded to be the number 1 New York Times Bestselling series.
