The Traveller - John Twelve Hawks

The Traveller is the first book in the "Fourth Realm" trilogy. Basic Plot: The book is about the protection of the few remaining "travellers", who are those gifted with the ability to travel to other dimensions. Sounds a bit sci fi/geeky so far, but hold on. They are protected by a group of rebels called the "Harlequins", skilled in both combat and secrecy. The travellers are under threat by an organisation called the "Tabula" who are basically ...
...a cross between Kill Bill, the Matrix and 1984. Readability: This book is very addictive, and the ending leaves you wanting more. The thing I like most about the book is the amount of desription, I could see this being made into a film in a few years. Ill definately be buying the next book. The only thing I would say is that some parts are a little far fetched, but Its fiction so thats how it should be I guess. Overall: Jon Twelve Hawks has produced ...

Review of The Traveller - John Twelve Hawks

This is the debut novel from John Twelve Hawks - an author who reveals no information about himself, and his publisher says only that he "lives off the grid". On the cover of the edition I read was the phrase, "The new Da Vinci Code", and although I don't think that the Da Vinci Code was Dan Brown's best book, I like the easy style reading that a Dan Brown novel provides and so this was the main reason for my selecting the book.

...This book is apparently the first of a trilogy and the author has some incredible work to do if he is to better himself. The plot outline, in it's simplest of terms seems quite far fetched. There are a dying breed of people, The Travellers, who are able to travel to different realms. The Harlequins are tasked with protecting the Travellers as for many centuries The Machine - consisting of large corporations, government's etc who are intent on controlling ...

Review of The Traveller - John Twelve Hawks

The Travellar tells a story of two young men with the capability to travel in and out of different realms (Travellers), with the aide of another group of would be gaurdians "the Harlequins" who stop at nothing to ensure the protection of the travellers at all costs and also an organisation who dont quite think its right that these travellers should be allowed to travel from realm to realm whenever they wish. Very well written and very detailed in reference to the characters, the auther has came with some brilliant work in my opinion, i enjoyed reading this book, so much so that i found it hard to put down at times. A must read if your into this sort of sci-fi literature. ...

Review of The Traveller - John Twelve Hawks

...by a group that are the post 'DaVinci Code' equivalent of Big Brother, were unsettlingly accurate. When coupled with a very personal knowledge of his settings, the book very quickly had me gripped, and looking over my shoulder for the CCTV. His style is blunt and unembellished giving the story it's hard-edged feel. I really enjoyed the science fiction element to the story, and the spiritual aspect of the "travellers" is a really nicely developed ...
