Why I read this book: I wanted to find out what happened next in the series.

Review: Bobby Pendragon follows Saint Dane to Zadaa, the desert territory of the Traveller Loor. When he last left the jungle territory of Eelong, Gunny, the Traveller from First Earth, and Spader, the Traveller from the water territory of Cloral, were traped there and the territory's Traveller, Kasha, was killed by a falling stone from the flume. At the same time, he goes to Zadaa with the body of Kasha and sees Loor at the flume. Loor then brings him to a tournament which she will take part in. When he hears the announcer say that the winning team is the one that severs two heads, Bobby panicks and thinks that the two teams were going after after the opponents team heads. Fortunately, the announcer meant that they had to cut off the heads of a two-headed zhou beast that looks like a cat. Loor's team looses due to Loor's alcolyte, Saangi, breaking the rules by helping them. But soon after the contest, Loor brings Bobby outside and are ambushed by the enemy tribe.

One of the more ancient books in the series, this book brings Bobby on a jouney of self-discovery and what it might mean to be a Traveller.
