A world that exists in the shadows of our own.
A conflict we will never see.
One woman stands between those determined to control history and those who will risk their lives for freedom.
Maya is hiding in plain sight in London. The twenty-six-year-old has abandoned the dangerous obligations pressed upon her by her father, and chosen instead to live a normal life. But Maya comes from a long line of people who call themselves Harlequins—a fierce group of warriors willing to sacrifice their lives to protect a select few known as Travelers.
Gabriel and Michael Corrigan are brothers living in Los Angeles. Since childhood, the young men have been shaped by stories that their late father was a Traveler, one of a small band of prophets who have vastly influenced the course of history. Travelers are able to attain pure enlightenment, and have for centuries ushered change into the world. Gabriel and Michael, who may have inherited their father’s gifts, have always protected themselves by living “off the Grid”—that is, invisible to the real-life surveillance networks that monitor people in our modern society.
Summoned by her ailing father, Maya is told of the existence of the brothers. The Corrigans are in severe danger, stalked by powerful men known as the Tabula—ruthless mercenaries who have hunted Travelers for generations. This group is determined to inflict order on the world by controlling it, and they view Travelers as an intolerable threat. As Maya races to California to protect the brothers, she is reluctantly pulled back into the cold and solitary Harlequin existence. A colossal battle looms—one that will reveal not only the identities of Gabriel and Michael Corrigan but also a secret history of our time.
Moving from the back alleys of Prague to the heart of Los Angeles, from the high deserts of Arizona to a guarded research facility in New York, The Traveler explores a parallel world that exists alongside our own. John Twelve Hawks’s stunningly suspenseful debut is an international publishing sensation that marks the arrival of a major new talent.
十二隻鷹(John Twelve Hawks),一位天纔的作傢,永遠生活在現實社會的牢籠之外,他沒有信用卡,沒有駕照,沒有任何能夠讓人確定其真實身份的信息。就連齣版該書的蘭登書屋也從來沒有跟他謀過麵。
《游侠》是一部不错的幻想小说,不仅营造出有如好莱坞电影般的戏剧气氛,在种种细节方面也显现出极高超的技术含量。除此以外,《游侠》还十分国际化地引入了很多东方文化元素,如西藏佛教的六道轮回、东洋武士刀等等。 中国的小说作者们,目前最欠缺的就是这种技术含量。这是...
評分斯皮尔伯格的招牌还是很唬人的,我不得不承认这一点。 这本书的背景设定是一群手握经济政治实权的组织“塔布拉”,他们是保守势力的代表,崇尚秩序与服从;为了达到他们的理想,他们开始在世界范围内寻找具有超能力的人“游侠”;游侠的设定更多的类似于“精神领...
評分看到最后没看太懂 可能应该还有续本 能够看到对这个社会的讽刺 让我们在追求高科技的同时审视这个世界 换一个角度去看社会大机器的变革 究竟是让人类更加接近天堂还是地狱 人类的幸福生活究竟在何方 科幻小说吧
