    About this series

    "The world needs heroes, but it has only us. So we'll have to make the best of it—and so will the world."

     

    Jonas Porter has a point. But Paul Reid isn't certain that his mentor is telling the truth about his plans. Because this time around, there's more than one world at stake if the heroes fail.

     

    Never mind that it's not clear who the heroes are, and trust is at a premium.

     

    Jeremy Johns wonders how much to believe the journal that his vanished friend Abel left behind. Audra Farrelly needs to convince herself that she and Porter are fighting the same battle the same way. Charlene Moseley must have faith that Quarry, her team's former adversary, wants to help them now.

     

    The mysterious and powerful Apalala-Aidan has informed Zach Brucker that he's not his friend, so Zach knows where they stand. But Zach's mother, Annie, can no longer deny that her son is beginning to worry her.

     

    The Dharma Rangers are the stewards of the nuclear weapons that will determine whether multiple realms will survive. And it doesn't matter who the Dharmas trust—because it seems everyone has control of their missiles but them.

     

    The truth is false; allies are enemies; and the only way to save all of existence is to destroy it.

     

    There are no guarantees. Nor have there ever been.

      Winner: Illinois Library Association's Soon to be Famous Illinois Author Project   "Paul Reid died in the snow at seventeen. The day of his death, he told a lie—and for the rest of his life, he wondered if that was what killed him." And so begins the battle for the afterlife, known as The Commons. It's been taken over by a corporate raider who uses the energy of its souls to maintain his brutal control. The result is an imaginary landscape of a broken America—stuck in time and overrun by the heroes, monsters, dreams, and nightmares of the imprisoned dead. Three people board a bus to nowhere: a New York street kid, an Iraq War veteran, and her five-year-old special-needs son. After a horrific accident, they are the last, best hope for The Commons to free itself. Along for the ride are a shotgun-toting goth girl, a six-foot-six mummy, a mute Shaolin monk with anger-management issues, and the only guide left to lead them. Three Journeys: separate but joined. One mission: to save forever. But first they have to save themselves.

      "I think I did something. Something someone really bad was counting on me to do. And I think you helped me."   Ray-Anne Blair isn't buying it. She just wants Paul Reid to forget about the imaginary place he says he needs to return to—and to stop calling her Rain.   Everyone wants something. Jeremy Johns wants to do well at his job, but the new office is strange. So is his boss, Mr. Truitt. Annie Brucker wants to understand how she ended up back with her abusive ex. Zach, her son, wants to know if he should trust whatever it is that speaks to him from the darkness of his closet—something so heavy it makes the floorboards creak. Jonas Porter, Audra Farrelly, Po the silent monk, and Charlene Moseley want to know why their colleagues and prospective Journeymen have disappeared, though the answer might spell the end of all existence.   Welcome to The Margins, a place that shouldn't be—but is, thanks to Paul and his friends. They thought they'd won. But they played right into the hands of an evil that anticipated their heroic act. Now realms are crossing over, the universe is collapsing, and it's up to those who created the danger to neutralize it.   No one said it would be easy. No one's sure it's even possible.   But this is where the difficult and the impossible abound.    This is The Commons.
