Gabriel and Michael Corrigan are two young men living just beneath the glittering surface of life in Los Angeles. Since childhood, the brothers have been shaped by stories that their father was a Traveler–one of an elite group of prophets able to attain pure enlightenment. The Corrigans, who may have inherited their father’s gifts, have always lived“off the grid”—that is, invisible to the intricate surveillance networks that monitor people in our modern world.Thousands of miles away, Maya is attempting to lead a normal life in London. The attractive twenty-six-year-old designer wants to ignore the fact that she comes from a long lineage of Harlequins–a band of warriors pledged to protect the Travelers at all costs. When Maya is summoned to Prague by her ailing father, she learns that Gabriel and Michael have just been located in California. The brothers may represent the last surviving Travelers, and are in desperate need of protection. Maya is reluctant to be drawn into the solitary, destructive life of her ancestors, but she has been trained to fight since she was a young girl.Also searching for the brothers is Nathan Boone, a disciplined mercenary working for the Tabulas–ruthless men who are determined to inflict order on the world by invisibly controlling its population. Boone and the Tabulas fear the power of the Travelers, and for generations Tabulas have hunted them down. When Maya flies to California in search of Gabriel and Michael Corrigan, a colossal battle looms that will reveal a secret history of our time.In this stunningly suspenseful first novel, reminiscent of George Orwell and Philip Pullman, John Twelve Hawks has created a vividly imagined world that runs parallel to our own. Moving at lightning speed from the back alleys of Prague to the underworld of Los Angeles to a guarded research facility in New York, THE TRAVELER goes beneath the surface to give us new insights on history...

Gregory David Roberts leaned heavily on his own life to tell the story of a most unusual man who was, for 10 years, one of Australia's Most Wanted. A heroin addict in prison for armed robbery, the man known as Lindsay (Lin) escapes and lands in Bombay in the 1980s, where his name becomes Shantaram. There he hides out
from the law, learns the local language, opens a medical clinic for the poor, and falls in love with a woman named Karla, eventually fighting as a guerrilla in Afghanistan against the Russians. A bestseller in Australia, SHANTARAM is a story of revolution and activism, addiction and redemption, adventure and romance. In addition to an addict, a prisoner, and a soldier, the author has been an actor, a singer in a rock band, a counterfeiter, and a gun runner, and has written the libretto for an opera. He wrote SHANTARAM in prison, over the course of many years--a manuscript, as he describes it in an afterword to the novel, written in blood and tears and exultation..., stained and streaked with my blood.
