Book One: The Sword of Elements

By T. A. Northburg

Bacon Finnegan just found a teleportation watch that transports him from the Starship Ruby Darton to the planet of his destiny. He meets up with a White Witch who explains he is Merlin's lost grandson and unleashes his magical powers. Bacon embarks on his quest to find seven hidden magical relics. Before he can do that, he must rescue his friends and defeat an evil Warlock, who is out to kill him. Then if he is successful, he can complete his quest to find the remaining relics and release Merlin from his enchantment on Earth.

THE COMPARISON

Like Gregor, Bacon teleports from his home to a mysterious land with strange and magical creatures. Both boys shrouded by a great prophecy, they are cast into their new surroundings and have to make a choice to run from their fate or accept their situation. Bacon, taking on his new role as the grandson of Merlin, moves forward to uncover the hidden relics, spread throughout the universe. He fights the Warlock Zamra-Teg who is out to kill him. Like Gregor, Bacon develops new friendships, encounters savage beasts and has to vanquish the evil lurking in his path as he moves towards his destiny. Although the themes are similar, the settings are completely different between the two books. Gregor's adventure is set in the Underland beneath the city. Bacon's adventures takes place on different planets in the universe. Both are amazing adventures filled with myth and fantasy to stretch the imagination.
