About this ebook
Hawks wrote this as a work of fiction, but his world is now uncomfortably close to reality. This is a novel that will captivate as much as it will provoke, from the elusive Sunday Times bestselling author John Twelve Hawks, for fans of Scott Mariani, Philip K. Dick and Michael Connolly.
'Take some Orwellian undertones, add a dash of Philip Pullman and sprinkle with a few lines of Dan Brown.' - METRO
'A cyber 1984... Page-turningly swift, with a cliffhanger ending.' - New York Times
'Portrays a Big Brother with powers far beyond anything Orwell could imagine ... Political prophecy is rarely such fun.' - Washington Post
'A saga that's part A Wrinkle in Time, part The Matrix and part Kurosawa epic' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
**********************************************************************
THE FUTURE IS NOW.
In a world that exists in the shadow of our own, the conflict between the Brethren and the Travellers reaches its devastating climax...
Struggling to protect the legacy of his Traveller father, Gabriel faces troubling questions and relentless threats from enemies old and new.
His brother Michael, now firmly allied with the sinister Brethren, pursues his ambition to wrest power from their leader, whatever it takes.
And Maya, the Harlequin warrior pledged to protect Gabriel at all costs, is forced to make a choice that will change her life forever...

I want more. Some of the plots need further exploration and there are question marks over the ending. Wouldn't be surprised at all if we got another installment. On the whole a thought provoking trilogy from J12H.

I read this book when it was first released. I was waiting for a whole year for the release of this final book in the trilogy. It delivered on a fantastic book that I just couldn't put down until I had finished it!
