Wow, what a wild ride! 
 The Travelers is a twisty, turny thriller, with so many layers of deception that it'll make your head spin. Basically, this book is just filled with lying liars who lie -- everyone has an angle, everyone is hiding something, and nothing is as it seems. 
 At the center of it all, Will Rhodes starts as a lone innocent, a pawn caught up in schemes he doesn't understand, but over the course of the story Will takes control of his own destiny and seeks to change the course of decades-long plotting and espionage. Meanwhile, absolutely no one is trustworthy, and more than several someones are out to kill Will. 
 You don't have to be a fan of the spy genre to enjoy The Travelers. The plotting is intricate, and the writing, while tense and full of suspense, is also at times quite funny and wryly observant. Beyond the world of high-stakes spycraft, there's plenty of between-the-lines commentary on marriage, relationships, career fulfillment and frustration, and so much else related to growing up and dealing with adult life. Plus, with settings like Paris, Stockholm, and Iceland and all sorts of other points around the globe, it's a whirlwind adventure with never a dull moment. 
 I've read one book by the author previously (The Expats), and I definitely want to read his other novel, The Accident. While the plot of The Travelers has a satisfying ending, the epilogue leaves just enough hanging open to hint of more to come for these characters. I certainly hope that the author writes a sequel -- I'd love to spend more time in this world!
