Omni Systems, the world’s leading technology company, has discovered a way to combine the experience of lucid dreaming with advanced A.I. and online role-playing games. They select five teenagers from across the globe to take part in the trial run of the revolutionary technology, Dreamscape.
A backpacker, a professional gamer, a nursing student, a soccer coach, and a brittle bone disease survivor; these five individuals must learn to master their fears and tap their imagination to fulfill a quest. Dubbed the Fearless Five, they will journey through the highly unpredictable environment of their collective dream to meet a mystical character known as Somnos the Sandman. Along the way, they’ll encounter unicorns, dragons, orcs, goblins and a host of other fantastic beings.
For a long time Mon D Rea has taught English as a foreign language, but his one true love has always been writing stories. He never stopped scribbling – between classes at uni, in between part-time work, on napkins, on the back of receipts, on the bus, and inside his dreams. His friends say he’s a grammar Nazi with a hyperactive imagination, and these two personalities of him are constantly at each other’s throats. He used to be a Neanderthal but now almost tech-savvy. He likes superhero movies.
Absolutely amazing!!! I love how the author incorporated the gamer's world into words. I am really looking forward to the next book. I've got so many questions in mind about the characters and about the story, but I'd rather wait. :) Again, AMAZING!!!
Interesting and exciting idea but felt a little juvenile. The dream world was cliche and boring, the characters were one dimensional and unsympathetic and the story just didn’t flow. I received a complimentary copy from Voracious Readers in return for an honest review.
