Move over VR and AR, curated dreaming is the next form of interactive relaxation, and Lucid Nightscapes Inc. is offering just that. It’s straightforward as you lie in a specially created chair, with an IV drip providing a measured dose of Diazepam, and you head off to sleep and into the dreamscape. Your dream can be one of your specific choosing, or a free-form one. Once inside the dreamscape, everything looks, feels, and smells as real as if you were there. The concept has been going well until a set of twins inside the dreamscape die on the same day. NSA agents Alton and Mallory Blackwell are called in to investigate. They’re given free rein in the dreamscape and set about trying to discover what’s going on. Is it an inside or an outside job, and can they find out who’s behind the killings before either of them is the next victim? Read Steven F. Freeman’s Lucid to find out.
Eighteen books into the Blackwell Files series, and Steven F Freeman still manages to come up with unique plots that are futuristic and awe-inspiring. I’ve been a fan of this author since I read the first book, and one of the many things I enjoy about his narratives is that they’re out there, but still entirely plausible. With AI in the forefront of many online discussions currently, this book appears at just the right time. Sebastian was hands-down my favorite character this time around, and I’m confident many other readers will feel the same way. There are red herrings galore, and the reader will keep switching between who they think the villain is until the final, unexpected reveal. Fans of realistic sci-fi concepts will enjoy this book. Read Lucid with the lights on, and when you sleep, be careful where your dreams take you.
