If you were the onlly living boy on the planet, what would you do? When 12-year old Erik Farrell runs away from home, he finds himself without his memory, stranded on a patchwork planet with danger lurking around every corner. Now every day is a struggle to survive. Luckily, Erik quickly makes friends like Morgan, a mermaid warrior and Thea, a teenage princess from a mysterious insect race. He'll need their help to escape the Dreaded Lord Baalikar and the evil Doctor once and maybe, one day, find his way back home.

"After discovering shocking truths about his past, as well as the secret origins of Doctor Once, the Patchwork Planet, and the deadly Baalikar, Erik begins a dangerous new quest to defeat Baalikar once and for all. But this is not something Erik can do alone--he must somehow convince the devastated populaces of the planet's cities to come out of hiding and unite against their common foe"--Back cover.

Zee, Erik, Morgan, and Bear travel to an invisible city seeking a being called The Primordial Intelligence in order to save their friends from the poisoning effects of a substance known as The Afterall.

"What is it like to sleep through the apocalypse? That's the question thirteen-year-old Zee Parfitt keeps asking herself. The last thing she remembered was a car barreling her way on a crosswalk. Unbeknownst to her, her father, Doctor Thomas Parfitt, made a deal with the devilish Consortium to save his daughter's life. Warped into the deranged monster, Parfitt became Doctor Once--whose love of fiendish mad science drove him to enslave and mutate the inhabitants of the patchwork planet Chimerika. With the Doctor's dying breath, he entrusted the only living boy, Erik Farrell, Zee's classmate, with the key to saving her life. Now, reunited with Erik, she faces a bold new world, still at war with the Consortium but unified in their fight. She also must face the wake of destruction her father left behind"--Back cover.

Macgregor, a former Pinkerton agent, seeks to uncover the town's dark secrets and tries desperately to keep his own past steeped in witchcraft and the supernatural hidden. At sundown... they'll be a showdown at High Moon.

"Erik has faced one frightening truth after another-from the realization that he will never return to his previous life on Earth to what really happened to his friend Zandra and her shocking connection to Doctor Once-but now he's in the battle of his life, as he attempts to save the Patchwork Planet from the all-powerful, shape-shifting, monster Baalikar! Can Erik and his friends, along with the combined forces from around the globe, even hope to defat Baalikar-the dreaded entity that engineered this twisted new reality?"--Back cover.

"Was it all just a frightfully realistic dream? That's what Erik thinks when he wakes up at home, no longer on a dangerous patchwork planet populated with monsters. Now he's back in his own bed. Breakfast is ready, freshly prepared by his mom. But something still feels strange. Were the evil duo Doctor Once and Baalikar real or imagined? And what of his friends Princess Thea and Morgan Dwar? Is Erik actually back home or is he really the only living boy?"--Back cover.

Erik, the only boy on the planet, escapes the Groundlings' prison and rejoins mermaid warrior Morgan and insect princess Thea. They deliver Thea to her people, where Thea's mother, the queen, tries to mend Erik's broken mind but they are interrupted when the kingdom comes under attack.

"Erik runs away from home only to wake up lost and without his memory. The world he knew has turned into a crazy, patchwork planet under a broken moon. Erik is the last living boy, but he's not alone: The world is filled with dangerous creatures fighting decide who gets eaten and who gets to eat. He'll need help from mermaid warrior Morgan and Thea, an insect princess, to escape the foes pitted against them by the dreaded Baalikar and fiendish Doctor Once"--Back cover.
