Book Review: The Traveler

 

The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks

Hawks' book is about an underground and centuries old society of Travelers, Harlequins, and Brethrens.  Travelers are able to traverse realms of existence or parallel universes.  They possess a unique ability to move between different dimensions.  The Harlequins are sworn to protect the Travelers at all costs.  The Brethren are hell-bent on destroying all Travelers.  Therefore the Harlequins and Brethren are enemies.  Are you following this so far?  Exactly!  It’s a little hard to follow in the beginning because there is so much history between these groups as the story unfolds in modern times.  The story actually turns around and improves as you get half way through the book.  Hang with it if you can get past the early chapters.  You’ll enjoy the book’s premise if you like secret societies and underground sects.
