It's partly because of their obsession with this alternate world and the unresolved war that still wages there. But it's also because forces in Marbury—including the darkest of the dark, who were not revealed in \u003ci\u003eThe Marbury Lens\u003c\/i\u003e—are beckoning the boys back in order to save their friends . . . and themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe boys try to destroy the lens that transports them to Marbury.
