As far as the east is from the west...

Marcus Battle is tired of the world. And he's certain the world is tired of him.

But when an old friend needs his help, he steps back into the violence and corruption he's fought for so long to avoid.

A decade after he disappeared north of the wall that separated his Texas from the rest of what used to be his country, an oppressive government threatens the only people alive for whom he cares and who care about him.

He'll sacrifice everything to keep them safe, and he'll travel one more time to places no man should have to go.

Marcus is back! And damn good thing. Along with Lou, Dallas, Norma and Rudy. Time has passed in this latest installment of a fantastic series, but nothing in this dystopian world has gotten any better. It's actually alot worse. The "government" capturing pregnant women. The drought. The sense of desperation. When Lou needs help, Marcus unwillingly goes to her aid. Battles ensue (see what I did there?). Races against time. Gun and knife fights. Babies born, bad guys killed. It's nonstop action. And it sucks you in like there's no tomorrow. I know the series will have to end one day, but please Tom, not for awhile! This absolutely MUST be turned into a movie. It's that good. Do yourself a favor and start with book one. You can thank me (or Tom actually), later.

I purchased all the books in the series and this in an honest and unsolicited review.

Warning: A few spoilers to the story line of 'Hero' are in this review. I have been a fan of the Traveler Series ever since the first book 'Home' was released. What has been Marcus' journey? Unlike what it often alluded to in the books, Marcus is trying to find the love and comfort that was ripped away from his life in earlier years. Having lost not one, but essentially two families who would not want to take vengeance out on those responsible? Was Marcus crazy for talking to his dead wife and naming his guns; or was this a defense mechanism that helped keep him sane in an insane world. In the penultimate book to this series we find Marcus living north of the Wall alone and estranged from Lou and everyone else he knew. He no longer talks to guns but bees, at least they are living beings. Was his excommunication from those he finally loved of his own volition? He believes it was necessary after Norma and others demanded he leave Baird and take the violence that seemed to follow him wherever he went with him. Then comes Dallas, now Lou's husband, finding Marcus in Virginia and urging him to leave his peaceful but lonely life as Lou is in danger and needs his help. How can Marcus refuse? Lou has essentially become a surrogate daughter to him. So off they go to get back south of the Wall to assist Lou. The rest of the book I will let you read for yourself, but I have a few thoughts on this series. I have always found Marcus to be a hero. Against his most innermost wishes, in my opinion, he did what was necessary to help others in dire straits. He is probably the one percent or less of the human population that is not either just stumbling through life or one of the evil doers praying on the weak. Does Marcus take pleasure in killing? I don't think so but as he says sometimes "he had it coming." So, the question for me is 'Will Marcus eventually find peace or will he die a violent death?' As a fan of the series from day one I am rooting for Marcus. I am hoping that in the final book in the series. 'Harbor,' Marcus can live out his life in peace. A fitting ending would be him dying an old man with Lou comforting him in his last moments on this plane of existence. The last words spoken by Lou as he passes should be 'I love you Dorothy.' If the series ends in this way I will have felt all the time invested in reading the series was worth it. But if for some reason, Tom Abrahams, decides to send out Marcus in a violent way I will feel betrayed and regret all the time I have invested in Marcus Battles' world.

Before I go a few more notes. Before Lou came on the scene Marcus was the center of the book's universe. But once Lou made her indelible entry into the series, I always considered the series to have taken a turn and be about Lou at the center with Marcus a main but supporting character. So, it is fitting that in the final two tomes we find Marcus coming to Lou's aid. And in a surprise that I did not see coming, Norma is revealed to be one of the most important people in the crazy world we find our beloved characters living in.

I sincerely hope 'Harbor' will not disappoint. Thank you Tom.

“One is a blessing. Two is a curse.”

Marcus Battle is back for the 7th book in the Traveler series – and this one is the finale (part one). And what a part it was. Long-time readers of the series will be thrilled that Lou is back in this book – along with some other familiar faces.

We’re also introduced to a completely new world post-Scourge and post-Wall. Abrahams introduces us to the Population Guard. A government force that assures that the population “doesn’t get out of hand” by enforcing a one-child limit to every family (including a fantastic quote from the book “One is a blessing. Two is a curse.“)

Now, this new plot point deserves a lot of extra focus here because of the final two books in this series (this one, Hero, and the final book Harbor). We’re also introduced to the new underground railroad. This time is to smuggle families with multiple kids to a safe place (I won’t fully ruin the plot points around this here, but know that it’s easily one of the most interesting plot points this deep into a series I’ve read in quite some time).

Hero itself is such a bittersweet book. I know that the Traveler and with it Battle are coming to an end and I’m meeting that with both happiness and sadness. There are scenes in this book that tore me up. A specific scene with Lou’s son’s drawing really got to me. (Trying not to spoil anything, just be prepared to be angry at the ninjas chopping onions).

I also respect that Abrahams can poke fun at himself and his novels while inside of one of his novels. This back and forth got me a bit:

““Sounds like some dude in a dime-store novel, doesn’t it?” Marcus joked. “Like some pulp fiction writer made up some unkillable soldier type, dunked him into one horrible situation after another, and the dude survives against all odds. Like the trials of Job but worse. Makes you wonder what hell I’ve got in front of me.””

Overall, I obviously loved Hero. It had everything I wanted and it really sets the stage for what is going to be a fantastic finish. I feel like I’m in Abrahams’ head a bit and I have a feeling that we’re all going to be satisfied with how that book ends.

Just be warned – this is kind of a “part 1” to the finale of the book, so it kind of abruptly ends (setting things up for book 8 in a few weeks). I can’t wait to see where Battle and Lou take us, but I know it’s going to be good. I could go on about this book for a long time but if you’ve read the books leading up to this, you’ll enjoy this one a lot.

~~My favorite of the Traveler series....so far....~~

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019

This series has been excellent so far but I do think this novel is one of the best in this series..... Something about that 'hero' aspect that sets it apart, I believe.

Marcus Battle....in retirement? Not so fast as he will be back in action in this one. Tough, creative and a mission that he decides to do.

The characters are well developed, the plot is excellent and this is an action packed thriller. For me, like a washing machine that has been given steroids...starts out gently and then by the time the spin cycle is reached, there is nearly a buzz for overload...

Outstanding....just outstanding. Looking forward to the next one in this series.

Most highly recommended..

The story is good and reading it is like seeing old friends again.

My problem is that the author, in my humble opinion, should have stopped the series at book 4.
