The Traveler: The First Novel of the Fourth Realm Trilogy
by John Twelve Hawks
Intriguing! (8/6/2005)
The author has made claims that, I believe, are not far from our reality. I have described this book to people as a "cautionary tale" about what could happen to our country (and our world) if we allow a small but powerful group of people gain too much control. The wheels are in motion and we must decide if we will observe and think for ourselves or accept a contrived version of events that is placed before us by a mainstream media machine. This book goes beyond science fiction - John Twelve Hawks has taken the warnings of George Orwell and given them a twist that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can't wait to see what the rest of the trilogy has in store!
