Synopsis

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.

From AudioFile:

D.J. MacHale ratchets up the tension in Book Seven of the addictive Pendragon series, and narrator William Dufris keeps perfect pace with the drama. Hero Bobby Pendragon is dropped into Quillan, a territory where games have deadly consequences. Dufris continues his solid voicings of the bemused, desperate, and warrior sides of Bobby. Each book adds new friends and foes whom Bobby must learn to trust or fight. Dufris masters them as quickly as they appear. He's at his strongest orchestrating the hollow-sounding, mesmerizing broadcasts of the ever-present games. Within those broadcasts, Dufris's portrayal of the deranged media personalities Veego and LaBerge are perfectly amusing and perfectly disturbing. K.C. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
