What would you do to survive
in a world with dwindling resources and desperate people? In Traveler by John Wilson, this is the ultimate question you will be asking yourself. The book is
a thought-provoking look at the harsh realities of survival and the things that
you may be required to do in order to survive.
Would you pretend to be
something you’re not? Or take your chances with the truth, only to be
disappointed by the harsh realities of a changing world. A changing world in
which the only difference between friend and foe may be your only chance for
another meal or a warm place to sleep.
In his book, John Wilson
examines the moral dilemma of what’s right or wrong. True reality becomes
blurry at best and it becomes extremely difficult to see who the real threat to
your survival is and the difficulty of choosing the path you must take for
survival.
Here are a couple of brief
excerpts from the book:
“Rob’s smile was suddenly
gone. “Okay, kid, I won’t destroy your delusions. But it’s obvious to anyone
paying attention that we’re on the down side of the slope. Resources are
getting scarcer every year...people are getting more desperate... more vicious.
It doesn’t take a fortune teller to see which way this world is going.”
The girl honestly asked ”So
you don’t think the old world will ever come back?”
“Nope...” A few years from
now they’ll all be extinct, they’ll be as dead as the dodo, but people like me
will still be here.”
If you want to read a book
that examines the concept of “survival of the fittest” and what it truly takes to survive, perhaps it’s time
for you to read “Traveler” by John Wilson.
Got Traveler?
Staying above the water
line!

This is the 2nd reference I've seen and read to this book. It sounds very interesting. I think I'm going to order it - thanks for the review.
If you are interested in a book of same genre (future south Texas locale specific) there is an E-book named THE TRAIL by Arturo Longoria. I though it was a very interesting book as well. BTW, he has a very good blog as well you may enjoy.
Yup.
And "Joshua".
