There's a lot to like about Traveler. Our hero wakes up, hung over, and we follow him through the minutiae of his day. But something is subtly wrong, and the author builds to the big reveal: some people have the ability to cross from one reality to a parallel world. This is none of the usual "what if Hitler won" or "what if the Reformation failed"; it's more on the order of "what if I hadn't been paying attention while driving, and I had hit that pedestrian?" Our hero doesn't have that ability, but his analogue from another time stream does.
The book kept me reading. The hero was relatable, the action was suspenseful, and the twists and turns of events in multiple streams were generally kept straight. I hate "Book 1" stories that are just arbitrarily chopped without a resolution, and Traveler isn't one of those. The story comes to a conclusion, after a major twist that I never saw coming, so this is a complete adventure with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Yet, on the last page, something new happens to set up another mystery.
The author's use of the English language was excellent, far above the sad standard of many Kindle books. I can't remember any significant mistakes.
I will watch for more books by Dennis Green, including the sequel.
Why four stars rather than five, since I have nothing bad to say? Simply this: I enjoyed reading the book once, but I don't feel like I'll ever need to read it again. I reserve five stars for books that I know I'll go back and re-read multiple times.
P.S. Some people seem to have a knee-jerk reaction that they don't want to read a book written in the first person. I've never understood that thinking, since it would rule out /Huckleberry Finn/ and all the Spenser novels, but for those who feel that way: this book is narrated in the first person throughout, aside from a couple of "Interludes" that contrast with the main story and are not part of it.
