Savage Dreams

Rate this book
The rebellion against the Flock rages!

The first team of Sleepers has awakened, each with shocking and destructive new powers. War is coming and the whole galaxy will burn.

As Flock warships search the galaxy for the stolen super-warship, Juggernaut, the battered crew seek for a haven to rest and repair their craft. Historian Lexie Chang and enhanced Tier One soldier Jason Horse are in a desperate race to preserve their secret weapon.

But the whole galaxy is torn apart by waves of brutal nightmares that push many into madness and violence. Worlds burn! The Flock high command fears that more Sleepers are awakening with devastating new abilities. The twisted Flock agent, Lord Hell, is close to cracking the science to turn the alien invaders into super-powered monsters. His ally is a rogue Sleeper who wants to tear apart the minds of human and alien alike.

In the darkness of space, new and even more terrible forces are rising. A race of beings older than the known universe are racing through the void toward Earth. And on some forgotten world, another group of Sleepers are evolving into something like gods, and their wrath could tear the galaxy apart.

The crew of Juggernaut faces incredible dangers at every turn, and even with new allies rising to join their fight, they know that this is war that may be unwinnable. Yet if they lose, humanity falls with them.

SLEEPERS SAVAGE DREAMS throws gasoline on the fires of rebellion and sets the Milky Way to burn!

EXCELLENT!!! One of his best ever. Jonathan Maberry The second in a trilogy that throws the rules out.
Reading all of the previous books in this reality (Joe Ledger) and bringing some of the charters into the future was mind bending.
If your familiar with these I highly recommend the Sleepers War.

To cut corners the author dragged the book into his Joe ledger universe. This book was a major upgrade to the last one. Still has quotes that don’t belong in a sci fi book. Characters still reflect on 20 th century culture too much. Far more readable and I look forward to part 3
