The Loyal Traveler

Ethan Kravis is a brilliant Harvard and MIT educated computer scientist. His small company creates next-generation biometric devices and is among some of the most advanced technology developed in the world today.or so he thought. When he's invited to play a round of golf with a grateful client, he accepts. What transpires, however, is far from par. On that fateful day, Ethan finds himself at the threshold of a new era. His eyes are opened to a world that few have ever known to exist. He is introduced to the world's first geomagnetic vehicle, a mode of transportation that uses no oil. This forward-thinking invention catapults Ethan into a high-stakes, winner-take-all, world of intrigue. His induction into this unfamiliar arena is met with unrelenting opposition from those men who control the world's oil supply. Ethan becomes torn between choosing to live out his comfortable existence in relative safety or becoming involved with the life-altering decision of letting the world know about this impactful, once in a lifetime, creation.

5Fast-paced and entertaining first novel  Jan 26, 2009
By Stacey Moses "Stacey Moses"
'The Loyal Traveler' is an entertaining and fast-paced novel, with a story that is as imaginative as it is relevant in today's world. While each page is packed with action and excitement, underlying themes give the story depth and meaning that transcend the techno-thriller genre, and readers need not be technology buffs to appreciate Schan's work. If you're looking for an adventurous read that will make you reconsider what you think you know about business, science, and human nature, then I highly recommend 'The Loyal Traveler.'

5Loved it!  Mar 11, 2009
By S. Collins
The Loyal Traveler was unlike a lot of the other thrillers I have read because it actually touched upon a very real issue facing the world today. More importantly, it dealt with the issue without making me feel like I was being preached at. Fun and quick read that also makes you think about what could be. Pick up a copy. You won't be disappointed.

5Entertaining Trip  Jan 23, 2009
By Bill Macy
The Loyal Traveler is an entertaining and quick read. The story has a little dash of everything. Although the book is a true techno-thriller, the author throws in unique splashes of conspiracy theory, science fiction, romance, big business, drama, comedy, and other styles of writing. This interesting mix of genres ensures that there is something for everyone. To me, the most enjoyable aspect of this book was the author's innate ability to tell a wildly entertaining story, all the while cloaking the very serious underlying issue this novel takes aim at. It is a brilliant web of social commentary. I highly recommend!

5Must Read!!!!  Mar 10, 2009
By A. Goldstrom
Great, fast paced novel. Read it in two days - couldn't put it down. Contains a terrific blend of technology, business strategy, action and even a love connection that provide a compelling story. The environmental message is also very applicable given Global Warming and our reliance on foreign oil.

5Totally Original  Apr 30, 2009
By Sasha A.
The Loyal Traveler was riveting. The storyline was so original and imaginative that I couldn't put it down. I only hope that the author gets credit when some mad scientist invents a geomagnetic vehicle. Buy a copy, give it a chance and it is guaranteed to suck you in.
