Third Earth (Pendragon series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Third Earth is a fictional world in D.J. MacHale's Pendragon series of fantasy novels. Third Earth is Earth in the future, first seen in The Never War.
[edit] Setting
Third Earth is the greatly advanced Earth of the year 5010. It is peaceful (due to the righting of wrongs in the years following Second Earth) and cooperative (due to the increasing scarcity of natural resources). People now live underground, underwater, and in space (on the moon, Venus, Mars, and two of Jupiter's moons). Bobby Pendragon describes its farms and pastures as consisting mostly of apple trees.
[edit] Technological Advances
Some devices that Bobby listed in his journal are as follows:
- White donut shoes that fit to your foot (similar to the globes on Cloral).
- Silver square cards, used for communication. Gunny used this to call for Patrick (Third Earth's traveller).
- Monorails that stop at a quiet hum, suggesting that they are either floating or powered by an electrical charge.
- Fifty-story underground malls.
- Two-wheeled scooters (similar to bicycles, based on a picture in The Guide to the Territories of Halla).
- All books (except for Green Eggs and Ham) have been replaced by computers, which Patrick describes as being a billion times more powerful than modern-day computers, and no larger than a grain of sand.
[edit] Plot
At the end of The Quillan Games, Bobby and Courtney go to the flume and travel to Third Earth - apparently to see what has become of it, since Second Earth has been changed so much; and to follow Mark, as he has flumed to First Earth with Saint Dane at the end of Book 7.
