13 BOOKS. 13 NIGHTMARES. 1 DESTINY.
I don’t know what’s real and what’s not anymore. The barrier between dreams and reality is more blurred than ever as Sam is drawn into an age-old battle for the Dreamscape. Even more confusing is that the next Dreamer seems to know as much as Sam about the importance of her dreams and the search for the Gears. From the Kremlin in Moscow to the wilds of Siberia, Sam is involved in a race-within-the-race with an old adversary with a sinister way of staying one step ahead.
The more Sam and his friends dream, the less they will remember...

In the book series the last 13 books 8, I thought it was really cool with all of the character development with Eva sam and all of the other characters but manly sam. In the book sam is one of the main characters and the first dreamer and in this book series and he tracks down all of the other dreamers and in that case he has so much development and in this book it is the first time he gets betrayed by a dreamer and it makes his plans harder to do with him intervening in his plans also I believe that this book would be great for all of the people that believe in fiction books and like to have a fun nice new book series to read on their free time also I love how James Phelan did an amazing job of describing the book and all of the characters

I don't know what is real or what is a dream it says well join the club buddy reading this you don't know what is going on most of the time it is becoming a very haphazard mess and slowly unraveling not it a good way - this is book eight of thirteen and it is feeling even now that it is stretching the friendship - I will persist!

I think the series need another by Sam's relative.

Another good one but with some new twists and turns in this one. And talk about a cliffhanger at the end! Can’t wait to start the next book to find out how Sam gets out of this predicament!

A diversion from the same routine of finding a Dreamer and then finding a Gear. More pieces come into play, and black and white further becomes grey.

This one shares the action between the first three dreamers that we met in the series. Alex, who seems to be sideways with the law. Eva who dreams dreams for others and of course Sam, our hero.

The stake has been ramped up again for Sam. Good work.

Sam's on his own for most of this book, and the plot turns again as the knowledge of the Dreamers starts to broaden. Alex, Eva and Sam continue to provide access to different threads, and the action is still engaging.

This book was quite interesting.
While it was like the others, there was some new and exciting changes too. We got introduced to two new groups, the Nyx and the Hypnos.
Again, the book ended in a cliffhanger.

Amazing. This series always gets better and better, and James Phelan is an expert at adding more and more complications and bad guys.

October 11, 2018The Last 13: 6 is a great book with an even amount of action and adventure. The overarching mystery of what the Baku machine does and who is going to find the dream gate first keeps you interested, and with Solaris having almost half the gears, the story could go either way.
