Kindle Customer

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024

The author has presented a masterfully created novel that excites the reader to continue reading without pause. A true wordsmith that places you into the sequence of events the characters are going through. You are there, same time, same place, same feelings, thoughts. Few authors have this gift. The book is certainly the best sci-fi books I have read. Who needs internet to watch when there are great books such as this one!

Amazon Review LinkHere is a blurb for “Dreamscape Conspiracy”

This story began as a short story called Dream Weaver, which blossomed into four novels with the potential for a fifth in the series.

Dream Weaver, the working project name, emerges from an obscure sleep study and dream research effort. Dreamscape is the fictitious technology that evolves throughout the story. Obscurity was obliterated by a research accident with incredible potential for good and bad things to happen. That volatile potential they discovered had to remain secret with limited sharing of knowledge, or unlimited chaos would take over.
And it did.

Our protagonist is Dr. Cara Williams, a 32-year-old Clinical Psychologist with a dark secret she fights to repress. Being the lead researcher on a controversial Dream Therapy project called Dream Weaver, she finds satisfaction in her work until an accident in the lab rewrites the rules of Dream Therapy.

Further complications surface when the core technology known as Dreamscape 1.0  did much more than capture dreams for analysis. The accidental discovery enabled the transmission of previously captured dreams to other research participants. That’s an unexpected problem, and it sparks an attempted suicide.

They discovered that some benefits could relieve recurring nightmares of participants suffering from PTSD. One such participant was Russell Carter, a fifth-year senior who entered college after six years in the Marines as a Force Recon Scout Sniper. Russ has a dark secret, too, that haunts and terrorizes him in his dreams relentlessly.

Because of Russ’s past as a sniper, his self-esteem has taken a significant hit, and his actions while in Afghanistan have made him consider himself unredeemable. Dream Therapy may be a source of relief for him, but he may never get the chance to find out as this twisted tale unfolds.

Devious and deceptive undercurrents by Big Pharma are at work to exploit the Dreamscape technology driven by greed for financial gain. Some want to destroy Dreamscape and anyone attached to the research to protect big-money investments in the pharmaceutical industry threatened by Cara’s breakthrough discovery.

The relationship between Cara and Russ is something the other needs, but they only realize how much once realities violently rewrite their dreams. Their future together has miles to go.

“Dreamscape Conspiracy“ was a blast to write, and I discovered there needed to be another book to continue where the story led me. And it did—three more times.
