 B obby Pendragon is a seemingly normal four-
teen-year-old boy who is going to save the
world—not just Earth as we know it, but many
territories, times, and places known together as Halla. As
Bobby travels among the territories, he sends journals of
his adventures back home to his friends. Read on for an
excerpt from the very first novel in the Pendragon se-
ries by D. J. MacHale, The Merchant of Death, as well as
a sneak peek at a prequel story about another Traveler,
Alder, from Pendragon Before the War: Book Two of the
Travelers, written by Walter Sorrells—one of three pre-
quel books based on the Pendragon series due in early
2009.

D.J. MacHale is a writer, director, and producer of sev-

eral popular television series and movies, including Flight
29 Down; Are You Afraid of the Dark?; Encyclopedia Brown, Boy
Detective; Tower of Terror; and Ghostwriter. Pendragon, his
first book series, is a New York Times bestselling series. He
lives in southern California with his wife, Evangeline; his
daughter, Keaton; a golden retriever, Maggie; and a kit-
ten, Kaboodle.
