Black Water by D.J. MacHale
4.0
This series is amazing in that you feel so much like you're living the book...as everything begins to change and get more serious, you feel it.
Saint Dane is changing the rules. After toppling Veelox, the dark demon heads to Eelong, a world unlike anything Bobby could have prepared for. In this massive, jungle-like territory, the dominant species are intelligent predator cats that walk and talk and call themselves the klees. And on Eelong, they keep humans as pets.
But the food source on Eelong is failing, and Saint Dane is planning to unleash a deadly plague on both the cat-creatures and humans of Eelong. The only way to stop him may be to break the rules; to bring an antidote from another territory, a Traveler taboo. It is a dilemma that will change Bobby Pendragon's entire view of his duty and himself.
With Mark and Courtney brought into the action from Second Earth for the first time, the return of Travelers Gunny and Spader, and a host of brand new characters, culture concepts, and places, "Black Water" is another totally original tale in this hugely creative series.
But by the end, things are still looking bad, and the familiar territory of Zadaa may be next...
