Book Report: The Dark River

The Dark River
by John Twelve Hawks


From the back cover:

Two brothers born into a race of Travelers--prophets able to journey to different realms of consciousness--have just discovered that their long lost father may still be alive. Gabriel, who could be humanity's savior, wants to protect him. Michael, however, wants to destroy his father and humanity's hope for freedom. As they race across the globe, their frantic search puts them on a collision course, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.


First paragraph:
