Dream Machine (ePub)

Dream Machine is the latest page-turner from the bestselling author of The Fat Detective trilogy and The Fading Man.

Life is stuck on an endless loop for Alex Clark, a sixteen-year-old who spends his days suffocating at school but his nights exploring a vast virtual world that is far more addictive than reality. While all his classmates are asleep Alex is walking through wheat fields and forests and mountainous landscapes. But when a doorway leads him to a perfect replica of New York City, he finds it harder to return to real life.

Zoe is his only reason for going back to school. With new-found feelings for her, he really wants to get to know her better. When he tells her of the world he has found, she is a little sceptical. But once she too finds herself at the centre of a living, breathing New York City, it does not take much to convince her and she wastes no time having fun and living out her dreams.

They are finally free to do whatever they want, whenever they want, without any teachers or parents around to spoil their fun. But when they can't find their way out, it soon becomes hard to determine whether they are trapped in paradise or in a nightmare of their own making.

From the bestselling author of The Fat Detective and The Fading Man, Dream Machine is a gripping, fantasy-infused adventure that explores the thrilling possibilities and darker sides of a technology that is fast approaching us all.
