Welcome to my tour stop for Traveler by Dennis W. Green! Traveler is an adult science fiction novel. The tour runs July 6 – July 17 with reviews, interviews, guest posts and excerpts. Check out the tour page for the full schedule.
About the Book:
Blending mystery, police procedural and sci-fi, Traveler is a thriller in the tradition of Daniel Suarez and Dean Koontz, with just a dash of Jim Butcher.
Police detective Trav Becker can travel between parallel realities. So can other versions of him. And one is systematically killing every Trav he can find.
Trav must fight to keep the very fabric of time itself from unwinding as he hunts the most dangerous quarry of all… himself.
He must hunt the most dangerous quarry of all… himself.

About the author:
Ask someone how they know Dennis Green and you might get any one of the following: Writer, DJ, actor, MC, swimmer, teacher, reporter, tech geek, husband, or dad. So it’s little wonder his favorite expression is the above quote by Robert Heinlein’s spacefaring immortal, Lazarus Long.A popular radio personality in his native Iowa, Dennis’s adventures as a DJ were covered by newspapers from Anchorage to Los Angeles. He has also worked on the stage, TV, and independent film. He is one of the Midwest’s most popular MC’s, hosting dozens of events each year.
Dennis’s first novel, the sci-fi detective thriller, Traveler, ranked in the Top Ten in the 2014 Ben Franklin Independent Publishing awards, and has a 4.9 review average on Amazon.. Prisoner is the second volume of the Traveler Chronicles, and will be out in the summer of 2015. Trav Becker’s saga concludes in the final volume of the trilogy, Hunter, which is due in 2016.
Dennis’s writing has appeared in the anthology Sadistic Shorts, magazines including Grift and Romance and Beyond, as well as his own blog at denniswgreen.com. He also writes for and edits the triathlon news site heartofamericatri.com.
By day, he is the general manager of Iowa’s only jazz radio station, KCCK-FM. And if it’s 5:30 am, you can probably find him in the pool, working out with the Milky Way Masters swim club.
Excerpt:
Something attracted Sam’s attention
to the computer.
“Hmm. That’s weird.”
“What?”
“Oh, the screen is really jumbled.”
Sam had wiggled the mouse, and when the screen woke up, the display was solid
blue.
“It’s not supposed to look like
that?” I asked.
“No,” replied Sam. “Lemme re-boot.”
He reached down and pressed the
reset button on the CPU case. The screen immediately went black and the
computer began the familiar whirring and clicking of a restart.
“This is one of the new 3-D
monitors,” Sam said as the machine chugged through its startup routine. “What
we should be seeing is a representation of this room. When the device measures
quanta entering the stream, we’ll see some blue specks or streaks. Particles
leaving our stream will show red. Of course, we’re not seeing the actual
particle activity, just a graphical representation of what’s going on at the
quantum level. The actual data is written to a database. The picture we see
gives us an idea of where within the room the activity is taking place.”
What looked to me like a fairly
normal Windows desktop had finally appeared on the screen. Sam launched an
icon—a cartoon cat, of course.
We watched as the program loaded. As
Sam had promised, a very lifelike 3-D image of the room seemed to spill out of
the monitor, followed almost immediately by a silent explosion of blue that
erupted from a corner of the monitor, covering the entire screen. Because of
the 3-D effects, the blue wave seemed to leap out of the screen at us. I had to
resist the urge to rear back as if I expected to be showered by paint.
