Pendragon 4: The Reality Bug


By D.J. MacHale


Veelox. A territory far more advanced than any society Bobby has ever seen...including the future of second earth, the present time for Bobby. It's a place that has reached paradisical harmony, or so says Aja Killian, the traveler from Veelox. What Bobby discovers is something far from paradise. He finds a society on the brink of crumbling into non-existance, and Saint Dane has bragged that Veelox is already his and there is nothing Bobby or Aja can do to save it. But Aja has a plan to save her planet, and it's called The Reality Bug. Will Aja's plan work, or has Bobby and the traveler's luck finally run out? And what has happened to Gunny, who followed Saint Dane to a territory called Eelong? He was supposed to come right back, but has yet to return...



Okay, now the series is getting completely heavy. Bobby faces a challenge different from anything he's faced so far. There is no war to fight, at least not a physical one. This one's all in his head...literally. The machine that was invented on Veelox called Lifelight has taken each of the citizens of Veelox into their own perfect existance, a place that only resides in their minds, a place so real that no one wants to leave. This book had the biggest feel of science fiction to it, and was kinda disturbing in the ideas it portrayed about people. It was crazy good though and left me wanting, as usual, more more more! If I wasn't interested before, I am now stuck for good with Bobby and the travelers in the battle for Halla.
