Review: The Never War (Pendragon #3)

Book 3: The Never War

*Spoilers

Bobby is now on his own… but he’s home. Well, kind of. At least he is on Earth. This book takes place on “First Earth” which is earth as we know it, but in 1937. Another traveler, another territory. New rules, a new plan from Saint Dane, but this time, Bobby and his friends are on a time crunch.

The wit and humor that Bobby has is awesome. He has you laughing along with him, as he tries to deal with things that no teenager should. (He never does figure out how his birthday works if he's on another territory).  With the hoard of new characters to meet, Bobby is forced to grow up, and smarten up quickly ... or it may cost him his life. He's thrown into some nasty tum-tiggers as he tries to figure out the plan Saint Dane has in store for First Earth. However, what Bobby soon learns is that his plan is bigger than he ever thought.  With Spader by his side, and Gunny - the traveler from First Earth - covering their butts, the boys hit the ground running in an epic ride that you won't want to miss. 

MacHale does a wonderful job of bringing history to life and explaining one of our greatest mysteries. Bobby is growing into his own more every day, learning what it means to be a Traveler through experience and with the knowledge that Uncle Press has given him.  While he has his ups and downs, "this is the way it was meant to be" is something each Traveler must come to terms with in their own way.

Hobbey ho!
