The Third Traveler

By Stephen L Graf

An epic tale spanning three continents and four decades, The Third Traveler depicts the triumphs and defeats of three generations of an Irish family. Opening in 1912, a young Arctic explorer, Ciaran Creagh, struggles against failing health and hellish conditions to reach the safety of base camp following an expedition to the South Pole. Shifting forward, Davy Boy O'Shea, a boxer haunted by ominous dreams, prepares for a middleweight championship bout. Finally, the narrative turns to Percy, a shy 10-year-old who wants nothing more than to sail his model ship in peace yet finds himself tormented by bullies. Moving from the Antarctic to County Kerry to Hell's Kitchen and back again, The Third Traveler explores the ways in which loss, regret, and fear can immobilize us. Underpinning it all is the question that preoccupies Ciaran: who or what is the mysterious third traveler who shadows their steps through that vast, frozen wasteland?
