Robert "Bobby" Pendragon, an everyday athletic high school student from
Stony Brook, Long Island, NY discovers that he is a Traveler: someone
who is able to use mystical flumes to journey among ten distinct
spacetime realities, called "territories." His Uncle Press, the lead
Traveler, tells him that they have a crucial mission: to stop the efforts
of the shapeshifting demon Saint Dane, a supporter of the darker side of
human nature who believes that everything there is or was, collectively
called Halla, must be destroyed so that he may rebuild it, according to
his own designs. As each territory reaches a critical turning point,
Saint Dane arrives, hoping to lead its people toward self-destruction.
Bobby travels to the ten territories to thwart Saint Dane's plans,
sending journals to his home (Second Earth) to be received by his best
friends Mark Dimond and Courtney Chetwynde, who become sometimes involved
with the action and are deemed Bobby's "acolytes." There is one Traveler
from each territory and Bobby soon realizes that his role is to replace
his uncle as the lead Traveler, pursuing Saint Dane across Halla, and
helping to guide the territories back toward stability with the assistance
of the other Travelers, their acolytes, and further allies. The turning
points of the territories, in order, occur on Denduron, Cloral, First
Earth, Veelox, Eelong, Zadaa, Quillan, Ibara, Second Earth, and Third
Earth. Not only does Bobby come up against the forces of Saint Dane, but
he also learns the skills of martial arts and how to respect the diverse
peoples he encounters, which wildly differ in their social structures,
technologies, philosophies, traditions, and other cultural aspects.
He also has to adapt to eact territory's environments to get to Saint
Dane. As the saga progresses, Bobby begins to learn the nature of what
it really means to be a Traveler, that Saint Dane's ultimate goal includes
a mysterious event called "the Convergence," and how different he actually
is from a normal American teenager. By the ninth book, Bobby successfully
prevents the destruction of six territories, but on Second Earth, Veelox,
and Quillan the Travelers fail, allowing Saint Dane to claim victory.
Even worse, by taking over Second Earth, Saint Dane manages to reverse
all previous Traveler victories, founding an elitist, genocidal cult
called Ravinia that marches its robot army of humanoid soldiers freely
throughout the territories. In the last book, Bobby and the Travelers
learn that they are not actually humans, but rather, spirits created
by Solara, the source of all accumulated human knowledge. Reuniting one
last time, they manage to defeat Saint Dane in a final battle on Third
Earth, thus reviving Halla and beginning its process toward recovery.
