The Traveller by John Twelve Hawks



Book one of the Forth Realm Trilogy was an action packed 608 pages. The Gist: Travellers are people who can travel through out of body experiences to other dimensions. These Travellers come back being "enlightened" often sparking change for good. Harlequins are essentially people who actively seek out Travellers and defend (often with swords) them from the Brethren. The Brethren are the vast machine if you will, they are out to control society and make everything run smoothly. They do this with technology (they moniter everything) and violence (they hunt Travellers).

The Brethren have infiltrated the highest ranks of society, government, business, etc. They use thier power to forward thier agenda, i.e. internet monitering, video survelance cameras, RFID chips, and much more. The book is a veiled allagory about the advancement of the technological police state. A vast conspiracy is pulling the strings to keep society at heel. A national id card, the tracking of all fininacial transactions, gps sattelites, and internet monitering. These tools and more used to keep the sheep in the herd and the wolf in charge.

Trully a modern upgrade of We the People or books of that ilk. Its a fun read and a definate page turner. Conspiricists will love its plotlines. Check it out.
