347:-journeying young warriors from a variety of different planets and cultures, who are tasked with stopping or reversing the destruction being enacted by the villainous Saint Dane. Saint Dane is a shapeshifting demon whose favorite form is a tall human with icy blue eyes and long grey hair, but who can variously transform into a raven, a cloud of smoke, and a variety of other forms. He plans to destroy "what separates order from chaos"—the very fabric and structure of the universe, known as "Halla"—so that he can rebuild it according to his own twisted design. Uncle Press, the lead Traveler, introduces Bobby to the "flumes": enchanted tubes used by Travelers to journey among the ten "territories", which are especially eventful locations and time-periods in the universe. Press explains that Bobby is a resident and designated Traveler of the territory known as "Second Earth", which means planet Earth (especially centering on New York City) during the early 2000s (the present moment at the time of the series' publication).
379:
each territory's environment to be ready to confront Saint Dane at a moment's notice. Bobby gradually learns the nature of what it really means to be a
Traveler, first hinted at when Saint Dane mysteriously begins referring to the Travelers as "illusions". Saint Dane's long-term strategy also eventually surfaces, centering on a mysterious event called "the Convergence", in which the territories' turning points all begin to coincide, potentially causing an escalating chain reaction of chaos throughout Halla. Matters worsen when the Traveler from Quillan, named Nevva Winter, treacherously defects to Saint Dane's side. Meanwhile, the Convergence causes some territories to undergo a devastating and unanticipated second turning point.
575:, given certain supernatural abilities and tasked with guarding that territory against Saint Dane, who calls Travelers "illusions". There are arguably two generations of Travelers, the first of which mentor the second. All Travelers, except the klee Traveler from Eelong, take the form of humans. Travelers have occasionally demonstrated the following superpowers: heightened persuasiveness; hearing all speech and reading all writing as their own native language (also known as omnilinguality); remarkable and rapid powers to heal both oneself and others; the apparent ability to read the minds of those around them; the (exceptionally rare) ability to transform into other livings beings.
547:: Any yellow-eyed, supernatural animal created by Saint Dane to guard the flume(s) of any territory where he is present and attack the Travelers and their allies. Local people of the territories do not recognize quigs as being anything more than indigenous animals. The territories each have their own type of quig: Cloral has 20-foot-long (6.1 m) sharks; Denduron has spike-backed, bear-like beasts; the Earth territories have giant dogs; Eelong has cannibalistic gars (humans); Ibara has swarming bees; Quillan has robotic spiders; and Zadaa has snakes; Veelox's quigs are never revealed.
367:. Bobby must then travel to each threatened territory to thwart Saint Dane's plans, sending journals back home (to Second Earth) to be received and kept safe by his best friends, Mark Dimond and Courtney Chetwynde, who become sometimes involved with the action and are deemed Bobby's "acolytes": personal helpers and record-keepers along Bobby's journey. There is one Traveler from each territory, and Bobby cooperates with all ten along his journey. Throughout the series, Saint Dane often confronts Bobby personally and asks him to join his side, but Bobby consistently refuses.
559:: "The spiritual reflection of the state of Halla." Solara is the essence of all positive sentient thought and creativity and it looks different to every individual—a spiritual realm or state that is neither a territory itself nor part of any territory. When every person dies, their spiritual weight is added to the accumulation called Solara. As Saint Dane manipulates the people of the territories into making self-destructive decisions, Solara begins to split into a weakening "light" Solara and a strengthening "dark" Solara.
565:: Any of Saint Dane's divisions of Halla characterized by some particular world in some particular time-period. There are ten territories (called Cloral, Denduron, Eelong, Ibara, Quillan, Veelox, and Zadaa, and three different time-periods of Earth, known as First Earth, Second Earth, and Third Earth) which exist in the space-time continuum on a total of seven distinct worlds (Cloral, Denduron, Earth, Eelong, Quillan, Veelox, and Zadaa).
553:: A militaristic political movement and religious cult, originating on Second Earth and led by Alexander Naymeer under the manipulation of Saint Dane, embracing the view that the elite and talented members of all territories should create a ruling class that subjugates and ultimately destroys everyone else. Saint Dane uses the cult as the main driving force in his plan to bring Halla into chaos.
466:: A shapeshifting, voice-activated technology patented by D.A.D.O. (though seemingly actually invented in Third Earth and stolen from that territory by Saint Dane) consisting of an object with flexible, elastic skin that can change into various simple geometric forms including a pyramid, a cube, and a sphere. Apparently, it is the main technology inside the robotic bodies of dados.
458:: Any of the tunnels that link each one of the territories with the other nine. At the entrance to a flume, a Traveler must speak the name of a territory, causing the flume to writhe to life, turning its rock walls into transparent crystal, emanating a jumble of pleasant musical notes, and lifting and pulling the Traveler gently into the flume towards the spoken destination.
452:): Any humanoid robot member of the security and police forces of the monopolistic mega-corporation Blok (on Quillan) and which Saint Dane later mass-produces on Third Earth and elsewhere into his own personal armies. The name originates from the acronym D.A.D.O. (Dimond Alpha Digital Organization), a First Earth corporation that produces forge technology.

213:, published from 2002 to 2009. The series chronicles the adventures of Bobby Pendragon, an American teenager who discovers that he must travel through time and space to prevent the destruction of the ten "territories": critical times and locations throughout the universe. The series has sold over a million copies.
