Synopsis

A world like no other… “A high-tech heroic fantasy full of adventure, puns, and damn good reading. Well thought out.” Pulsar The award-winning Dreamland Chronicles are now in ebook! When Dreams Collide is William Mark Simmons’ gripping sequel in Dreamland, the place where your wildest dreams – and nightmares – come true… Dreamland takes you out of your body and into computer-generated worlds where anything you can imagine is possible. People become avatars, battle dragons and wield swords, spells and their wits. In this thrilling second instalment, Robert Ripley thought he had things all wrapped up. But soon, he is feared dead along with seventy-one passengers and crew members in the crash of a Russian Aeroflot jetliner. Meanwhile, the psychotic Artificial Ego and the Superego of Dreamland have escaped… Their plan: to kill six billion innocents . When Dreams Collide is an enthralling blend of science fiction and fantasy, humour and break-neck action.

Highly recommended!” K D Wentworth “The second book is even more outrageous, and fun, than the first.” Algis Budrys, writer “Recommended to
