A world that exists in the shadow of our own . . . the thrilling conclusion to John Twelve Hawks’s Fourth Realm trilogy, The Golden City is packed with the knife-edge tension, intriguing characters, and startling plot twists that made The Traveler and The Dark River international hits.
John Twelve Hawks’s previous novels about the mystical Travelers and the Brethren, their ruthless enemies, generated an extraordinary following around the world. The Washington Post wrote that The Traveler “portrays a Big Brother with powers far beyond anything Orwell could imagine . . .” and Publishers Weekly hailed the series as “a saga that’s part A Wrinkle in Time, part The Matrix and part Kurosawa epic.” Internet chat rooms and blogs have overflowed with speculation about the final destiny of the richly imagined characters fighting an epic battle beneath the surface of our modern world.
In The Golden City, Twelve Hawks delivers the climax to his spellbinding epic. Struggling to protect the legacy of his Traveler father, Gabriel faces troubling new questions and relentless threats. His brother Michael, now firmly allied with the enemy, pursues his ambition to wrest power from Nathan Boone, the calculating leader of the Brethren. And Maya, the Harlequin warrior pledged to protect Gabriel at all costs, is forced to make a choice that will change her life forever.
A riveting blend of high-tech thriller and fast-paced adventure, The Golden City will delight Twelve Hawks’s many fans and attract a new audience to the entire trilogy.
Author
John Twelve Hawks
JOHN TWELVE HAWKS is author of the New York Times Bestseller, The Traveler, the first book in a trilogy that includes The Dark River and The Golden City. The Fourth Realm Trilogy has been translated into 25 languages. Known as “JTH” by his readers, Hawks followed the trilogy with Spark, a stand-alone novel, and a nonfiction book, Against Authority: Freedom and the Rise of the Surveillance States. His readers have translated this e-book into multiple languages. For more than 20 years, JTH has lived a deliberately “anonymous life” to show his resistance to the continual government and corporate attack on privacy. He has discussed his life choices in a published essay, Writing as the Sky Rains Death. In addition, Hawks and the British DJ, John Digweed, created The Traveler Album, a musical collaboration that combined spoken passages of the novel with progressive house music. JTH worked as a war correspondent and turned to fiction to understand a fractured reality. Like several of his characters, he has lived in London, New York City, Paris and Berlin.
