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 trying to take full control of the state in a Big Brother type way.
Style/Theme: Think of 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 a brilliant book which has become a bestseller. Its addictive, enjoyable and everything a good book should be. Im hoping the rest of the series follows in this style. It really gets you thinking about things such as CCTV and Navigation systems!
