The Traveler: Book 2 by Deborah Dugan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Traveler is back, but this time his experience is slightly different, he has woken up in a different frame of mind, he has woken with despair in his heart and another lifetime to live, however this time he does not know if he will be able to last through the experience again.

While in his latest stasis period, he has been changed, he has woken up in a completely different configuration and cannot understand why, that is until his memories come crashing back. He is overcome by emotion and struggles to take everything in to a point which is detrimental to his health, but eventually he comes out of it and is able to process enough so that he can eat and drink.

One thing which remains though is hope, hope that he can live with the despair in his heart, hope that he can work within his new physical configuration and hope that he can still communicate with those around him, but will this hope be able to get him through the trying times and chaos which lies ahead? Will The Traveler be able to come to terms with this latest ordeal? How can he overcome the loss and despair he is being swamped by and being life back into his current lifelessness?

This is a sci-fi which deals with some hard hitting emotions and situations, through the lens of both the observer and the observed and which makes you think about your own experiences and how they have affected your life while you follow along with the story.
