The little town in upstate South Carolina, embraced by nearby Paris Mountain and the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is intriguing by its name alone, Travelers Rest. It sits at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, yet it is only a half-days journey from the Atlantic Ocean. This village has always been a place where travelers stopped. Situated on a crossroad of Cherokee trade trails, it became a rest stop for drovers moving their livestock over the mountains. Inns and rest camps developed, and the town of Travelers Rest grew around them. Scots-Irish settled the former Cherokee lands, and patriots were ceded land for Revolutionary War service. In 1887, the new railroad afforded access to factories and markets and improved transportation for tourists. Travelers Rest is proud of its history and eagerly looks forward to a thriving future built on a solid foundation of education, commerce, and community activities.

Travelers’ Rest is a family epic, but it is also an American epic, carrying a message that can also be found in Ben Robertson’s other, more famous works, Red Hills and Cotton and I Saw England (his first-hand account of the Battle of Britain). Thoughts of the Republic’s founding and American values were very much on Robertson’s mind as a journalist covering Washington and Europe as he anticipated the coming of the Second World War.

A chilling fable about a family marooned in a snowbound town whose grievous history intrudes on the dreamlike present. The Addisons -- Julia and Tonio, ten-year-old Dewey, and derelict Uncle Robbie -- are driving home, cross-country, after collecting Robbie from yet another trip to rehab. When a terrifying blizzard strikes outside the town of Good Night, Idaho, they seek refuge in the town at the Travelers Rest, a formerly opulent but now crumbling and eerie hotel where the physical laws of the universe are bent. Once inside the hotel, the family is separated. As Julia and Tonio drift through the maze of the hotel's spectral interiors, struggling to make sense of the building's alluring powers, Dewey ventures outward to a secret-filled diner across the street. Meanwhile, a desperate Robbie quickly succumbs to his old vices, drifting ever further from the ones who love him most. With each passing hour, dreams and memories blur, tearing a hole in the fabric of our perceived reality and leaving the Addisons in a ceaseless search for one another. At each turn a mysterious force prevents them from reuniting, until at last Julia is faced with an impossible choice. Can this mother save her family from the fate of becoming Souvenirs -- those citizens trapped forever in magnetic Good Night -- or, worse, from disappearing entirely? With the fearsome intensity of a ghost story, the magical spark of a fairy tale, and the emotional depth of the finest family sagas, Keith Lee Morris takes us on a journey beyond the realm of the known. Featuring prose as dizzyingly beautiful as the mystical world Morris creates, Travelers Rest is both a mind-altering meditation on the nature of consciousness and a heartbreaking story of a family on the brink of survival.

In early 2014, people throughout the world learn of a radio signal coming from a non-human intelligence in space. The Travelers, as we name them, transmit just a series of integers: 1-8-1-8-6-8. Experts and laypeople speculate about what the message and the existence of another intelligent race in the galaxy means. Fate launches Dr. Philip Matheson, a Sociology professor, onto center-stage as he helps to decode the Travelers' message, which turns out to be a distress signal. But Earth has problems of its own, as rising sea level threatens coastal cities around the world, and Earth does not have the technology to help the Travelers receive what they need. Can Earth help the Travelers? Should we? Will we? These intriguing questions produce answers more astounding than anyone could expect. Travelers Rest is a work of social science fiction told from a historical perspective in a non-fiction style. The narrative uses Professor Matheson's public and private journal entries, published papers and articles, secret and leaked government documents, and transcripts of media coverage of events. The reader also gets to view the Travelers' society directly, in a way that the people on Earth cannot. Since the reader can feel that the events recounted actually happened, the universal themes of Travelers Rest gain an extra dimension and become unforgettable. Reader/Reviewer comments: Travelers Rest is a fascinating book on an oft-speculated topic that many of us hold near and dear to our hearts-the possibility that there really is intelligent life out there in the cosmos. I found the author's way of presenting the book to be unique, interesting and, due to its slightly complex nature reminiscent of Independence Day, entirely plausible. ... That's probably what really sets this book apart. Rather than putting the reader in the driver's seat for an unrealistic and over-romanticized first contact with the Travelers that brings them to the doorstep of the average person, the events of this book make the viewer feel that they are right there living it ... I strongly recommend Travelers Rest for anyone looking to make first contact without being stuck in the over-dramatized, science fiction format that most extra-terrestrial books have taken up to this point. -- Melissa B. * * * Travelers Rest will have you pulled in and turning pages as this gripping story unfolds. Travelers Rest is unlike any other book I have picked up. It's written in a unique and interesting flow that is captivating and riveting. What makes Travelers Rest so different from other sci-fi novels is while you´re reading you can't help but get the feeling that Travelers Rest is a collection of reports that could possibly be true. -- Renee M. * * * I thought this was a unique book; one like I have never read before. ... The book will leave you thinking about your own life and what you can do to make the world a better place. I give this book four out of five stars for originality, plot, and writing. I think any adult would enjoy reading Travelers Rest. -- Kelley L.
