About Prisoner (Book Two):Trav Becker is a police detective with multiple lives. Or to be more accurate, he’s a police detective who knows that multiple versions of himself live in countless different streams of existence.
When another Trav Becker appears bleeding and dying at his front door, Trav quickly realizes that something is dreadfully wrong in the multiverse.
Pursued by an FBI profiler who believes (with some justification) that Trav is hiding something, the detective races to save two kidnapped girls while also trying to sort out why he keeps turning up dead.
Desperate to preserve his home timeline, Trav is thrust into a hidden war that threatens to destroy the very fabric of reality itself.
Dennis Green returns to the universe he created in "Traveler" for another mindbending thriller.
Prisoner Excerpt
“THEY’RE
COMING.”
BRIGHT, arterial
blood spurted from the shoulder of the man standing at my door. It
contrasted with a darker stain that soaked his abdomen. The arm that
wasn’t gushing blood was wrapped around the stomach wound, trying
to hold his guts in.
He swayed a couple
of times and crumpled to the ground.
I managed to catch
him before he hit, lowering him to the floor as gently as I could. I
cradled his head as his mouth worked, but all that came out was a
rusty wheeze.
“Don’t try to
talk,” I said. “I’ll get help.”
He focused on me
with some difficulty, reaching for the collar of my shirt with a
bloody hand. He pulled me close to his face.
“They’re
coming,”
he whispered again.
And died.
I gently laid his
head back and placed the hand that had grabbed my shirt on his chest.
I laid two fingers on his neck to verify there was no pulse, but I
knew there was no life remaining in his blank, staring eyes.
I rocked back on my
haunches and regarded the dead man on my living room floor.
I knew him. His name
was Trav Becker. Thirty-two, eleven year veteran of our town’s
police department, last four of those a detective. Single, but with a
girlfriend totally out of his league. He was thinking of asking her
to tie the knot.
I knew he’d broken
his elbow jumping off a play set at his eighth birthday party.
I knew that he was
still coming to terms with the death of his dad, even though it had
been more than two years.
And that he was now
strictly a beer drinker because of some very unpleasant memories
involving vodka.
I knew a lot more
about him than that.
In fact, I knew
everything about him.
Because Trav Becker
is also my name.
And this was not the
first time I had found myself staring at my own dead body. In fact,
it wasn’t even the first time in this room.
It is not something
you get used to.
