My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The story follows Harry, who over has gone by many names over many years, and his adventures. I will start by saying that although the first book is not necessary to follow along but makes book two significantly more enjoyable. With that being said, I had a much harder time getting into boom two but having read the first book, I knew it would get better and answers to my questions would be resolved. I enjoyed learning more about Harry and his past lives. The author did a really nice job seamlessly blending the past with the current time while also building wonderful character development. I found myself missing the same people Harry was and wondering what happened to them. We also continue to find out how Tristan is doing and his budding romance with Elena. My favorite interactions will always be with Tristan and Harry. I’m excited to read the third book.

This is the second book in the series by this author I have read, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. I thought this book provided the reader more of the story of the main character, especially his past and what got him to where he is at today. I love her sci-fi writing style and her amazing depiction of the experiences going on in that place and time. This book brought me more emotion than the first book which I honestly was not prepared for, but it was all needed to help with the story arc. She did a great job. I would highly recommend that you read these books in order instead of reading this one first. It will benefit you in understanding how and what you are reading about. Very good read.

Enter Science Fiction into a story about a “being” who has long periods of stasis and changes form every times he comes out of stasis and learning new things like language inter species communication.
Follow an evolving society while Harry sleeps in stasis as humans continue to progress.
I enjoyed Harry got to come back to Tristan but I was annoyed with Elena’s response to finding a talking bug…big…. its a talking bug and you want to take a nap?!?Who does that?

Elena inevitably gets pulled into a crazy adventure with Harry and is far more accepting of what he is, even if Harry & Tristan do not fully understand.

All in all a good science fiction/fantasy. I admit I did not read book 1 that would probably have filled in the gaps for me.

This is the second book in the Traveler series and I was hooked all over again. The way the author draws you into their imagination is fantastic. I went through an emotional ride with this book more than the first. I couldn’t put it down. Very interesting series and book and I can’t wait for the next one.

The Traveler Book 2 is the second installment of The Traveler series. Harry is back and with him a new victim! ..Ahem I mean a new friend! This time Elena is not so trusting of our unique time traveler but is dragged into a crazy adventure anyways. We learn more about Harry, his past and his abilities. Another great story by Deborah Dugan that will leave you looking forward for more.

The Traveler: Book 2 by Deborah Dugan. This book takes us back to The Traveler book one. I do recommend reading the 1st book to truly understand what you are reading. During book 1 Harry had gone into a very long period of stasis. While he is in stasis it lets his body reload, heal and re-energize. During this process he will recall things of his past and the lives he has lived. While he sleeps we see Tristan living in the present time and seeing how the world he lives in his going. When Harry awakes he feels like a real person after a long time of just being and he will see how it is to live in the real world. If you truly enjoyed the first book you will love this one because it will go deeper into the life of the Traveler and explain his being. Its a very good sci-fi read and you will want to see if Harry can make it in the real world even though he has despair in his heart and is feeling lost. Read The Traveler series today!

I really need to make sure I start at the beginning of a series moving forward, as this was singularly the most unique read, and it’s unfortunate that I didn’t get to become one with the Traveler before moving onto this installment. Despite not reading the first novel in this series, I found myself entwined in the authors writing and the adventures/emotions, as well as the peaks and valleys that come to pass through the timeline in which this takes place. Lately, I have been picking up easy to read, quick novels to pass the time, and this certainly was not one of those. It is a very involved, deep literary adventure, that is best if you take your time to really commit to what is going on within these pages.

I’m a huge time travel fan, when it comes to movies/shows/novels, and this one did not disappoint, nor did the authors ability to weave the fantasy and science fiction into the readers imagination as well as the characters as well. There is always good and bad out there, and it’s up to us to really do all that we can do face our fears and do all that we can to be able to get through this life, and perhaps our afterlife/lives as well. The novel may seem a little jumpy at times, though it could just be me, and I really need to read the beginning to follow the way this is done! Very much look forward to reading the first installment and coming back to this one. If you have the time to commit to this series, do it!

I was so excited to read this book. I enjoyed book 1 immensely. Getting to see more of Harry’s past lives was interesting. I really enjoyed learning about previous relationships that he had a chance to develop. His life as Small Brother both made me happy and broke my heart. It was devastating to see the way people rejected him. The component I enjoyed most in the first book was Harry’s relationship with Tristan and I was so happy to see how much of a positive impact the relationship had on Tristan and that we also got to see his life after Harry. Another book full of great characters and interesting adventures for the Traveler. I look forward to reading more of this series.

Book Two was a very interesting installment of this series and I could not put it down. If you enjoy sci-fi fantasy storylines with a bit of adventure, you will enjoy this book.

If you’ve read book one, you know that it ended with Harry diving into stasis. While in stasis, he dreams of his other lives while he was living outside of stasis. In book two you follow Harry as he faces his next adventure and challenges, all while contemplating his next step.

The author excels at constructing a magnificent story and fills us in with Harry’s backstory. She left plenty of room for more adventures in this series. I hope she plans on writing more engaging additions to Harry’s life story. She really makes you think about what would go through your mind if you were in Harry’s shoes and lived through multiple lives/life forms.

I enjoyed this compelling gem of a book and think other sci-fi fans will too.

I give this book 4 of 5 stars!

After how much I enjoyed the first book I couldn’t wait to start reading the second. The author transports us yet again into an intriguing and well written story that had a unique feel to it. It feels so different to other books in the genre.
I really thought you could see how the character had developed from one book to the other. It was nice to see that progression and how it carried the story. This series really has been so interesting so far and I can’t wait to see what is near from this author.

I really enjoyed The Traveler so leapt at the chance to read Book 2. It didn’t disappoint! Book 2 brings us loads more of Harry’s backstory, which is fascinating, as well as developing the present-day story. I would only recommend this book to people who have read Book 1 – I think it would come across as a bit slow and confusing if you’re not coming at it from that angle. So if you’re reading this review and haven’t read Book 1 I would put that at the top of your tbr list!
At the end of Book 1, Harry went into stasis – an incredibly long and deep sleep that would allow him to replenish his energy and heal his body. While he is in stasis, he dreams of some of the many lives he has lived before and these make up the bulk of the story. These are fantastic, taking us to a variety of moments in history and seeing how different humans have responded to Harry in these times. These stories in themselves are very engaging, and at times emotionally moving.
Meanwhile, we get to keep up with what’s going on in the world Harry left behind as he sleeps. We see Tristan recovering from the emotional rollercoaster of the first book – I was very grateful to see him still in the story.
This book gets five stars from me! I can’t wait to read the next one! I would recommend the series to readers of sci-fi and fantasy who are looking for something entertaining, thought-provoking and original.

This book begins soon after the first book ends when the Traveler has done a selfless act. As a result, he has to go into a stasis to recover, and as a result we learn more about the Traveler’s past.

Book 2 of The Traveler was just as great as book 1 if not better.
The author has told this story in such a way that the characters emotional journey is your own.
This book takes us more in depth as well as gives more insight about Harry and this next cycle of his life. This book was very heartfelt, emotional, and addicting from page 1. The Traveler shares life lessons and experiences many times over.

The Traveler is an ancient being, who has taken numerous forms to gain power and more experience.

Seeing as this is the second book, I don’t want to give anything away. I didn’t read the first one but I definitely will now to help fill in the gaps though I was too confused or lost while reading this novel.

This was more emotional than I expected with a title called ‘The Traveler’. I will admit while reading I kept thinking of Doctor Who.

I don’t know if there will be another novel in the series or not. I hope so we can read more about the The Traveler’s experiences.

What an amazing book! Just as much as the first book. Reading about Harry’s adventure with the cavepeople while he was “sleeping” was intriguing. I enjoyed the sociological touch to the story. Reading about Tristan waiting for Harry to wake and the time that passed (with it being so different) was cool because it is so different. The emotions can catch you just in the feels, like a roller coaster. The plot ran fairly smooth for being a time twist. It was easy to follow. The characters were interesting. Not really relatable but connectable, Harry was very easy to connect because he would help but try to stay invisible and not interfere. So worth reading. I would give it more than a 5 if I could. Highly recommend.

The Traveler: Book Two is the second instalment in The Traveler series by Deborah Dugan. As with the first book, it is a sci-fi fantasy with time travel, adventure, plenty of originality and imagination, tension, and intrigue- making for a highly creative read .
This is the second book in the series and follows The Traveler in their journey, so in saying that I highly recommend reading the first book in the series before starting on this one. The first book will help ground you in the storyline, as well as provide interesting and important details that will help enhance your reading experience of this book.
As we discovered in Book One, The Traveler is an ancient ‘being’ who has travelled the universe and has taken on various forms over the millennia’s, using these ‘experiences’ as a means to gaining knowledge and power.
I felt this second story was even more complex, impactful, and emotional than the first. I felt it also had a lot more depth and development than the first- the author has really found her groove with the story and character/s. I enjoyed the first book, but this second book is better still.
Another unique, interesting, and somewhat thought-provoking read.
Happy reading!

Thank you, Deborah Dugan!

This is the authors second book, and it is just as good as the first one. It is a Sci Fi fantasy story that Sci Fi fans will enjoy. The authors creative visual is unusually different and uniquely quirky and different, but it works. It is not just a story it is an experience. The tale is original, and it captivates it audience. The Traveler is a fascinating character. It is a timeless ancient being. This is imaginative storytelling whilst exploring a great unknown. Once again, her passion shines through for this genre in her writing.
The Traveler has a lot to share and those he meets have a lot to learn.

I absolutely loved the previous novel, and this one was certainly no different. I loved the story in this one, the flow of the story was more heavier than the first one, but it made me really love it. I love this authors way of writing, she really brings the story to life, and really mesmerized the reader fully in body and mind.

The Traveler is a wonderful being, this one as I have said was heavier in the sense of the things he has gone in the previous vs this one. Things he is faced with and emotions behind them, really make you feel. As the Traveler did as well. it was not all candy and sugar canes. The story was real as it can get and you literally feel everything! His impact though on the characters he meets in the story were truly impacting as well. I found even more so in this one than the previous. The journey you take in this one with The Traveler is one beyond your imagination! Loved this one just as much as I did with the previous novel!

If you didn’t get the wonderful enjoyment of the previous book in the series, I do say you should look into it. I really loved this one, and I certainly highly recommend this book as well as the series to anyone that wants an out of this world adventure. And defiantly look up the author, their a high recommendation too!

This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the first. I highly suggest reading the previous book before this one to help your enhancement of this series and the author’s writing skills. This is a book that pulled me in from the beginning. It is an engaging, full of action, fast paced story that was hard to put down. I enjoyed how the characters brought the story to life. The Traveler is my favorite character as he is strong and I felt for him in parts. I enjoyed his growth as well as how supportive all the characters were to each other. This is a well written story that took me on a journey of challenges and a question of who you really are. This is a great story that I really enjoyed. I highly recommend this book.
