Book Reviews of The Loyal Traveler
Book Review: Get Ready for a Wild Ride!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most exciting and imaginative novels I have read in a while. The web the author weaves will keep you tangled and engrossed through every twist and turn. It's amazing to imagine the technological possibilities portrayed in the book --- the inventions, technologies and futuristic gadgets are fascinating and at the same time realistic and practical. I kept finding myself saying, "I could really use one of those!"
Aside from the story, the thing that drew me in the most was the relevance to today's energy issues. It really makes you think about the possibilities of a world which could live without oil addiction. Perhaps it even gives cause for optimism?
Summary of The Loyal Traveler
Ethan Kravis is a brilliant Harvard and MIT educated computer scientist. His small company creates next-generation biometric devices and is among some of the most advanced technology developed in the world today.or so he thought. When he's invited to play a round of golf with a grateful client, he accepts. What transpires, however, is far from par. On that fateful day, Ethan finds himself at the threshold of a new era. His eyes are opened to a world that few have ever known to exist. He is introduced to the world's first geomagnetic vehicle, a mode of transportation that uses no oil. This forward-thinking invention catapults Ethan into a high-stakes, winner-take-all, world of intrigue. His induction into this unfamiliar arena is met with unrelenting opposition from those men who control the world's oil supply. Ethan becomes torn between choosing to live out his comfortable existence in relative safety or becoming involved with the life-altering decision of letting the world know about this impactful, once in a lifetime, creation.Literature & Fiction Books
