THE TRAVELER

-

by Tom Kubiak Following the reunificat­ion of Germany, the KGB recruits an operative to retrieve stolen bearer bonds crucial to Russia’s Canadian presence.

The book combines internatio­nal intrigue, the Mafia, the rise of Vladimir Putin, and existentia­l musings on the meaning of life. Kubiak’s unusually constructe­d book bounces around in time and point of view. The style reinforces the already deep mystery and the ending holds even more surprises as minor players turn out to be vastly more important than first perceived. The author has put together a well-written, thought-provoking mystery with political and philosophi­cal ramificati­ons that bear on events in today’s headlines.

A complex political thriller for adventurou­s readers—and well worth the effort. 9781525518­591 • Paper, $16.99 9781525518­584 • Cloth, $23.99 9781525518­607 • eBook, $6.99
