The third installment in an epic series of adventures.
Bobby Pendragon is not like other boys his age. Bobby is a traveller, like his mysterious uncle Press, destined to save the world - all worlds - from the ultimate evil - Saint Dane.
Bobby and his friend Spader, the traveller from Cloral, have been busy leaping from territory to territory, trying to keep track of Saint Dane's whereabouts.
Now Bobby has returned to Earth - but something isn't quite right. The year is 1937 and our 21st century hero finds himself a little out of his depth. Why is this territory called "First Earth" when Bobby is from "Second Earth"? Can Bobby figure out where and how Earth is being threatened in 1937 before it's too late . . .?
Set against a backdrop of New York gangsters and the distant sound of a brewing war, Bobby uncovers Saint Dane's newest plot, but is he ready for the difficult choices that he must make for the salvation of not only First Earth, but everything that he has ever known?
