Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The enforcer approaches with phasers. Globlet, Quint, and Jack hurry into the monster taxi, a hand creature that runs on its fingers. Jack is thrown around inside the fleshy taxicab and struggles to drive it, figuring out how to use the bone gear shift and fleshy wheel. They evade hordes of enforcers in the transportation terminal and barrel toward a roadblock. The taxi leaps up and over the hordes of enforcers. As they escape into the street, they see a massive “Wanted” alert with pictures of them projected across the sky.
Globlet turns on the GPS, which is actually a brain in a jar, but the GPS fails to locate Hidden City. Jack notices Quint tinkering with his conjurer’s cannon, a weapon that gives him wizard-like powers. Quint reveals that it broke when they came through the rip-tear, and Jack admits that he dropped his weapon. Globlet gnaws at the brain in the jar until it reveals the location of Hidden City, which is surrounded by perils like the “snake pit” and the “Dead Guy Gulch.”
Jack drives the taxi onto a busy highway full of turns and loops. Globlet proves to be a terrible copilot, and Jack grows increasingly frustrated.
