description: "The Merchant of Death" is disguised villain Mallos, who wants to destroy "Hallas", all of the space-time continuum, and sells explosive clay-like mineral "Tak" in alternate "Territory" Denduron to peasant Milagos enslaved by fat rich Bedoowans. Bobby Pendragon 14, writes manuscripts (part narrator) for his friends Mark and Courtney back in Second Earth, when conscripted by fellow Travelers Uncle Press, warriors calm Osa and her daughter fierce Loor, and knight Alder. They hide in mines, battle in Roman-style Coliseum arena against monster "Quigs" - fight for themselves, and for everyone, everywhere, everywhen.
