Really confused me as to if this was science fiction or religious!False
Stephen Prosapio's writing has a way of pulling you in and keeping you guessing at the same time. His style is a unique blend of modern day thriller with yesterday's feel. When the CIA pulls US Marine Lt. Hector Lopez from a mission to rescue the hostages and puts him to work at the Oneirology Institute of America, the OIA. The OIA is designed to be a training place for a new technology called Dream Linking.Stephen Prosapio uses historical hijackings in 1981 to dramatize the plot and to bring
I met Stephen Prosapio in a gather.com writing contest and loved his entry, Dream War. But I always wondered how the different pieces would end up fitting together a helicopter rescue, secrets stolen from dreams by CIA spies, a man and a woman vacationing in Italy, and bubbles of nightmares falling from the sky Well, now I know, and the result was well worth waiting for.Long after the CIA have dropped their dream science program, Lopez continues to fight the creatures of the night. Meanwhile
I loved the introduction to Dream War! Oneirology: The Scientific study of dreams... The explanation and historical references hooked me straight away. The main character Lieutenant Hector Lopez came across as vulnerable, but grew stronger as the story unfolded, especially when we reached the present day.He had an attractive quality where I visualized him straight away. The story was so well written and descriptive that random images continued to leap from the page. For me 'Dream War' was packed
Decent read but despite ramping things up to a climax I want overly concerned about the fate of our heroes.
A difficult book to rate or comment on. I'm not even sure in which genre it belongs. It didn't hold my attention all that well as I read (and finished) two other books while reading it.I think what went wrong for me was when the author started bringing monsters into the story. He seemed to want to turn it into a horror story, but that didn't work for me at all. I developed very little affinity for the characters and I still can't figure out what was so important about the little girl.
