Kurzbeschreibung

Zwei verfeindete Brüder. Eine mysteriöse Bruderschaft. Und die Jagd nach dem Mann, der die Menschheit retten kann.
Gabriel und Michael Corrigan sind Traveler, die letzten Überleben einer Riege von Propheten, die für Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung kämpfen. Doch dann ist Michael zur Bruderschaft der Tabula übergelaufen, die die gesamte Menschheit mit Hilfe eines weltumspannenden Überwachungsnetzes zu kontrollieren versucht.
Nun erfährt Gabriel, dass sein Vater Matthew, der seit fast zwanzig Jahren verschollen ist und als tot galt, wahrscheinlich noch lebt und irgendwo in Europa gefangen gehalten wird. Gabriel und seine Beschützerin Maya von der Kriegerkaste der Harlequin verlassen sofort New York und begeben sich auf die Suche nach dem Vater. Aber auch Michael und die Bruderschaft der Tabula versuchen ihn ausfindig zu machen. Denn Michael sieht seine neu gewonnene Macht bedroht und möchte seinen Vater deshalb töten lassen. Die Suche führt Gabriel und Maya von den U-Bahn-Tunneln New Yorks und Londons über die Katakomben von Rom und Berlin bis in eine entlegene Region Äthiopiens - immer verfolgt von Michael und den Schergen der Bruderschaft ...
Die erschreckende und gleichzeitig realitätsnahe Vision einer völlig überwachten Welt, in der die Zukunft bereits begonnen hat. The electric new thriller from the bestselling author of The Traveller.

Beschreibung

Fear stalks our lives. In the press. On the television. Over the airwaves. Across the internet. Everywhere we go, someone somewhere is always watching. Waiting for the mistake that will reveal secrets, truths, lies, the real story or what they want to believe. No longer is anonymity a given right.

We are being controlled without our knowledge and we don't appear to care. Daily we sacrifice little freedoms that will never be returned. We are all victims.

They are some who will fight to the death to protect those freedoms. They will not allow the forces of commerce and ideology to dictate their lives. They are off the grid. Gabriel Corrigan is one such man. The system doesn't like it. It says that you cannot opt out, that you have to participate. And it will do whatever it takes to return Gabriel to the fold - alive or dead. He can run but he can't hide - forever...
