Mark Dimond is Bobby's best friend, and since recently a friend of Courtney's, too. Bobby sends the journals he records his adventures with to Mark, and he keeps them safe.

Loor is a traveler, but also a warrior from the territory of Zadaa and assists bobby in the book.

Saint Dane

The main enemy in this book is Saint Dane, a devious, cunning and extremely smart man with a plan to take over all existence, with only the travelers standing in his way.

An important symbol in this story is a star on a doorway underground, which marks the entrance to a flume between worlds.

Setting

The setting of this book is on the territory veelox, a futuristic version of Earth. The town of Rubic City is small, and almost uninhabited, almost completeley taken up by the massive Lifelight Pyramid.

Conflict

The main conflict in this book is lifelight, a mass virtual reality technology that is in a way addicting. Almost everyone on the planet is in it and has always been. With this happening, nobody cares to take care of their planet. Aja Killian comes up with a computer virus that will make Lifelight less appealing to everybody, but it does more than it was meant to, endangering any one(which is almost everyone)in Lifelight. Can Bobby and Aja save them?

Opinion

My opinion of this book is very high. It is the awesome book for sci-fi and adventure fanatics, and I would probably rate it about 4.5 stars on account of all chaos in the book.

Major Events

Bobby arrives on Veelox

Bobby runs into Aja on the streets after climbing out of the flume

Aja shows Bobby Lifelight,teaches him about how it runs, and then monitors his jump to show him what is in store.

They both go to Aja's house, and Bobby learns about acolytes from Aja's friend.

The next day, Aja installs the Reality Bug into Lifelights system,

which does more than it was ever supposed to and Aja suspends all who are in Lifelight to buy time to fix the problem.

Bobby and Loor enter Dr. Zetlin's fantasy to try to steal an access code from him.

After much persuasion, Dr. Zetlin gives them the code, which turns out to be just "0".

Aja tries to get rid of the Bug since she has the code, but instead just makes it worse, cuasing a viscious beast to enter the fantasy.

The beast is continually growing, feeding on the fear of people all over Veelox, and it chases them through the virtual town until they finnaly land back in reality.

Dr. Zetlin shuts down Lifelight, stopping the monster.

After a huge recognition, Lifelight is turned back on, signifying a loss on the Traveler's part.
