Book Reading with Dennis Green
<p>To keep the very fabric of time itself from unwinding, Trav Becker must track down a killer before he becomes the next victim… again.</p><p>The Traveler Trilogy is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller that follows police detective Trav Becker in his desperate search to catch a killer attacking different versions of Trav and his friends along the continuum of different parallel realities.</p><p>But as fanciful as the plot of the Traveler books is, the action takes place in some very familiar locations to local readers, like the Paramount Theatre, New Bo, even the UI’s Van Allen Hall. Dennis will read from his books and talk about how real-life places inspired the plot and characters of his books.</p><p>Join us Tuesday, January 26th at 6:00 p.m. via Facebook Live!</p>
