Ok I am reading this amazing book right now called The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks.
here is the description:
In London, Maya, a young woman trained to fight by her powerful father, uses the latest technology to elude detection when walking past the thousands of surveillance cameras that watch the city. In New York, a secret shadow organization uses a victim’s own GPS to hunt him down and kill him. In Los Angeles, Gabriel, a motorcycle messenger with a haunted past, takes pains to live "off the grid" — free of credit cards and
government IDs. Welcome to the world of The Traveler — a world frighteningly like our own.
In this compelling novel, Maya fights to save Gabriel, the only man who can stand against the forces that attempt to monitor and control society. From the back streets of Prague to the skyscrapers of Manhattan, The Traveler portrays an epic struggle between tyranny and freedom. Not since 1984 have readers witnessed a Big Brother so terrifying in its implications and in a story that so closely reflects our lives.
Now John Twelve Hawks is a mystery. No one knows who this person really is or anything. His biography just says he lives off of the grid.
Seriously Google his name and read about him. It's kinda cool and interesting, but it may be just one big marketing scheme. But the parts in the Traveler about The Brethren and The Vast Machine could be very real. This book, could be the work of one of the most paranoid delusionals out there.
Has anyone read this?
If not I suggest you do. It's pretty damn good.
And if anyone can find out anything cool about John Twelve Hawks then post it.
