Product Description:
A frantic race to save a long-lost Traveler.
An epic battle for freedom.
Two brothers whose power puts them on a collision course . . .with each other.
In The Traveler, John Twelve Hawks introduced readers to a dangerous world inspired by the modern technology that monitors our lives. Under constant surveillance of the ‘Vast Machine,’ a sophisticated computer network run by a ruthless group, society is mostly unaware of its own imprisonment. Gabriel and Michael Corrigan, brothers who were raised “off the grid,” have recently learned they are Travelers like their long-lost father— part of a centuries-old line of prophets able to journey to different realms of consciousness and enlighten the world to resist being controlled. But power affects the brothers differently. As The Traveler ends, Gabriel hesitates under the weight of responsibility. Michael seizes the opportunity—and joins the enemy.
THE DARK RIVER opens in New York City with a stunning piece of news. Gabriel’s father, who has been missing for nearly twenty years, may still be alive and trapped somewhere in Europe. Gabriel and his Harlequin protector, Maya, immediately mobilize to escape New York and find the long-lost Traveler. Simultaneously, Michael orders the Brethren—the ruthless group that has been hunting Gabriel—into a full-scale search. Gabriel yearns to find his father to protect him; Michael aims to destroy the man whose existence threatens his newfound power. The race moves from the underground tunnels of New York and London to ruins hidden beneath Rome and Berlin, to a remote region of Africa that is rumored to harbor one of history’s greatest treasures. And as the story moves toward its chilling conclusion, Maya must decide if she will trade everything to rescue Gabriel.
A mesmerizing return to the places and people so richly portrayed in The Traveler, THE DARK RIVER is propelled by edge-of-the-seat suspense and haunted by a vision of a world where both hope and freedom are about to disappear.

I was looking forward to this book...and was very disappointed! The very first book was good, if not great. This book instead of building on it, just logically fell apart. Maya (the Harlequin bodyguard) is dedicated to protect Travelers yet when there are only Two travelers left alive in the entire world, she abandons one (in her protection) to a civilian, to chase after his son (that she's in love with) and he gets captured by the enemy. Not to mention that the heartless blood thirsty enemy instead of killing him, takes him alive?? The book just fell apart and became more dribble then drama.

The very first book was fun, if a bit mechanical in its action/adventure. The second book lost its head of steam, as these trilogies always seem to do. It's a shame the sci-fi genre seems to require that most all books must be a series (minimum of a trilogy, for Star Trek and other franchises the number is limitless).
I suppose that I need to get used to the concept of books-as-reality-television-series, in which the plot will go on and on and on until either the reader or the ratings are exhausted. Unfortunately, {insert unknown author's name} would have been better served wrapping his story up in one volume and then moving on to some other topic.
In this case, by the end of THE DARK RIVER there was really no end in sight. I don't know when the subsequent book in the series is scheduled to come out, but given that it appears in bookstores by summer I'm afraid I'll opt out and mow the lawn instead of reading the book. Come to think of it, picking weeds seems like a more entertaining diversion.

As a book fiend, a scifi maven, and an omnivore of fiction its rare that I find a book that is...well...mush. This is mush. The crystalline edges of technology that drive good scifi plots forward are sort of soft and drippy here.
Even the premise is so... so wrong.
Scifi authors should have some grounding in science... without that, its simply fiction.

First of all, let me tell you that I haven't read the very first book in the trilogy. I was in the airport this summer, I forgot my book in the car... and I wanted a book to read for my 14 hour flight... I read the backpage and I thought... "Why not??"
The truth is that I read the book in less than a week... If you are an action lover, you definitely cannot stop reading this book... It is a never ending action...
Second, you can follow the story even if you don't know what happened in the very first book... but it is not an independent book... at the end you get the feeling that... now what??... and I hate to realize that it's been 3 months and there is no answer to my question... because I have to wait the third book... that's the only thing I do not like... I need the book to have some kind of an ending... and this one definitely doesn't have one...
Now if you are the type of person that doesn't like action books... you will definitely do not like this, as there is no break on action in it...
It lacks some explanations of how the author views some stuff... but I believe it is at the discretion of the author to leaves some mystery around...
Finally, the spoiler is that the title makes no sense until.... :) ok I am not going to spoil it... :)
