"Sometimes the truth has a dark side," and the depth of that darkness is the only question. The Gods of Sleep by Robert Mix provides a good insight into the darkness of truth through the story of Sean Hastings, a materialistic insomniac. Despite all his efforts, Sean can't get a good night's sleep. Finally, he discovers relief in an experimental drug obtained from a friend. Sleep comes at last, but so do dreams of a new kind. Some dreams foretell the future, others are perplexing, and all are dangerous. Seeking answers to his questions, Sean joins forces with some newfound allies who reveal an unrealized power for Sean and a dangerous foe who uses dreams to kill. Daemon Adler is that murderous foe, and he is the worst class of villain - one who doesn't understand that he is one.
The Gods of Sleep by Robert Mix is a captivating story that reminded me of the 1984 film Dreamscape. However, it is also a skillfully devised, original, and dynamic tale in execution. The plot is intricate and revolves around a conspiracy, but it also explores the protagonist's journey to finding purpose and realizing what truly matters in life. The novel's pace is impeccable, fast enough to be engaging without becoming overwhelming. The characters are well-rounded and possess unexpected quirks that make them stand out. They also have a few secrets that enhance immersion and make them intriguing individuals. Overall, The Gods of Sleep is an excellent read that will appeal to fans of thrillers, conspiracies, and adventures.
