The Traveler (The Fouth Realm #1)

The Traveler, by John Twelve Hawks, is a story about the grid. The grid is the technology, surveillance, and tracking methods the government used to watch us. This book takes place in a world very similar to ours, though hopefully, not just like ours.

In London, a woman who has been training all of her life to protect the Pathfinders, is called into action. She is not sure that she believes all that her father has told her about how the world works, but when he is killed, she must act none the less.

In New York, a secret shadow organization exists to make sure that Pathfinders are killed before they can effect the status quo.

In Los Angles, two brothers start to realize they have strange powers.

How does it all tie together? Will the woman from London be able to protect the brothers from those who wish them dead?

This book is great. It is the first in a trilogy. Book two: The Dark River, is due out in July of this year.
