What readers think of The Traveler, plus links to write your own review.

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!

Terrible book, avoid at all costs.

I was trapped reading it (no other book or magazine with me) while I was away.

It's really really bad. The writing is like a high school kid making up a screen play... I read the whole book, every awful line.

Urgh. It's like reading the first draft of the 3rd matrix movie... I can't get over just how much this book STINKS.

They'll publish anything now a days...

Cliched, style-less, violent with no good reason, terrible dialogue, and hopelessly shallow characters -- these are just a few of the reasons I only made it through one-fifth of this book. Terrible science fiction, and truly abysmal fiction.

I found this book, listened to in the audio form, to be stimulating in ideas and quite in line with ideas I have contemplated. I am excited about it being the first of a trilogy although it certainly can be read alone. It is a bit of a blend of science fiction, fantasy and political ideas, I think. Please try it and do listen/read the author's interview; he maintains his privacy because he wants his ideas/books to be the main source of attention rather than his persona.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I'VE READ IN QUITE A WHILE. THE CONCEPT OF TRAVELERS IS AN ORIGINAL IDEA TO ME AND EVERY LAST CHARACTER PULLS YOU DEEPER INTO THE STORY. I LOVED THIS BOOK AND I'M EAGERLY AWAITING THE NEXT TWO BOOKS.
