A Conversation with John Twelve Hawks, author of The Traveler
The Traveler evokes a variety of films and bookseverything from George
Orwell to the Matrix. Where did you take your inspiration from?
George Orwell is a favorite writer of mine and I liked the first Matrix,
but the creation of the novel goes much deeper than that. When I sat down to
write The Traveler I didn't think about being published. I simply wanted to
understand the world around me. Sometimes the best way to find the truth is to
create a fiction.
Can you describe the differences between the three main character types in
the book: Travelers, Harlequins, Tabula?
Travelers are a small group of people who have the ability to send their
spirit to other worlds. The Harlequins are an ancient order of warriors who
defend The Travelers. The Tabula is an organization that believes that mankind
is a tabula rasa a blank slate that can be scrawled with their ideas.
They are determined to destroy The Travelers. These three groups are fictional
but their struggle takes place within a very realistic environment.
