A note for parents
The Merchant of Death is an action-adventure series opener featuring a reluctant teen hero drawn into a multiversal conflict. While there is combat and peril across different worlds, violence is not graphic and remains consistent with middle-grade science fiction adventure. The story emphasizes courage, responsibility, and persistence as Bobby adapts to his role as a protector across multiple dimensions.
