The quillan games free ebook

When you jump around through time and space, it's tough keeping all those tenses straight, but Heidi has managed to do it yet again. They are all responsible for worrying about the many details of the book business that make my head hurt. Thank you, guys. My wife, Evangeline, is my constant source of support and encouragement. Without her calming assurances, I'd probably be throwing out more work than I keep and these books would take years to write!

Finally, my daughter, Keaton, has provided me with one of the most satisfying experiences I think a writer can have. She wasn't even born when the adventure began and the first few books were published. Of course she then blows right past them and heads straight for the Dr. Seuss section, but that's another story. These are only a few of the people who have helped bring Bobby Pendragon's story to you, and I sincerely thank all of them.

Are we done here? Are we ready? When last we were with Bobby, he had received a mysterious invitation that brought him to the territory of Quillan; Mark had saved Courtney's life, though she lay near death in a hospital on Second Earth; and Andy Mitchell had performed a most curious and impossible deed.

With all that has happened and all that is still to come, there's one question that must now be asked:. Always have. It doesn't matter if it's a simple game of checkers or something more brainy, like chess. I like board games like Stratego or Risk, and pretty much every team sport that exists. I like playing computer games and card games and charades and Scrabble, and when I was a kid, I was known to play a killer game of red rover.

I like to win, too. Doesn't everybody? But I'm not one of those guys who has to win constantly or I get all cranky. Why bother? When I lose, I'll be upset for about half a second, then move on. For me, playing a game is all about the fun of the contest and seeing the best player win, whoever that may be.

What I found here on the territory of Quillan is that games are a very big part of the culture. All kinds of games. So given the fact that I like games so much, you'd think hanging out here would be pretty cool, right?

Really, really wrong. Games are about being challenged and plotting and developing skills and finding strategy and having fun. There's nothing fun about what goes on here. On this territory games are deadly serious. When you play on Quillan, you had better win, because the price of defeat is too high. I've seen what happens when people lose. It's not pretty. Or fun. I'm only beginning to learn about this new and strange territory, but there's one thing that's already been seared into my brain: Whatever happens, don't lose.

It's as simple as that. Do not lose. Better advice would be to not play at all, but that doesn't seem to be an option here on Quillan. When you live here, you play. As ominous as that sounds, I've got to accept it because I know these games will somehow factor into the battle against Saint Dane.

He's here. This is the next territory he's after. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. He sent me a big-old invitation. I already told you about that in my last journal. You see, another Traveler was here before me. I'm not talking about the Traveler from Quillan.

I mean someone from another territory. I don't want to tell you much more about it until I reach that point in this journal.

My story should play out on these pages as it happened. The way I saw it. But I will say this much: I'm angry. Angrier than I've ever been since becoming a Traveler. If Saint Dane thinks challenging me to playing games is the best way to bring down Quillan, he's in for a big surprise. He picked the wrong battleground, because I like to play games. I'm good. And I'm mad. J MacHale. User: loils. Rating: 1 Thanks! Book: Ebook. Please Login or Register to write comments or use smm accounts.
