Waking the Dreamer Kindle Edition

By the end of the 21st century, the world had become a harsh place. After decades of natural and man-made catastrophes, nations fell, populations shifted, and seventy percent of the continents became uninhabitable without protective suits. Technological advancement strode forward faster than ever and it was the only thing that kept human society steady through it all. No one could have predicted the discovery of the Dream Walkers. They were people born with the ability to leave their bodies at will, unseen by the waking world. Having the potential to become ultimate spies meant the remaining government regimes wanted to study and control them. The North American government, under the leadership of General Rennet, demanded that all Dream Walkers join the military program. For any that refused to comply, they were hunted down and either brainwashed or killed.

The very first Dream Walker discovered was a five year old girl named Julia. And when the soldiers came for her at the age of twenty, she was already hidden away. A decade later found Julia living a new life under the government's radar. As a secure tech courier in the capital city of Chicago, she does her job and the rest of her time avoids other people as much as she is able. The moment she agrees to help another fugitive Walker is when everything changes. Now the government wants them both and they'll stop at nothing to get what they want.

An amazing creative story. The author managed to compress a whole new near future clifi story into an intense 1st person narrative. Wow. The characters are great. The pace intense. The concepts are intriguing. I love it. Can't wait to read it again!

awesome book but frustrating

i saw the book recommended on tumblr, checked the premise and read the sample on my kindle. immediately bought it, started reading and finished in one sitting. it was everything i love in good lesbian fiction, intense emotion, high stakes and a plot that does not feel like rinse and repeat. hard to find sometimes. not sure if the following statement warrants a spoiler warning it does not contain plot points: it would get 6/5 stars if i was solely rating the "first" 93% of the story. but the ending was so unsatisfying i wanted to fling my kindle across the room

All too believable

I read this the day before the US election and as the results were coming in. The dystopian view of the future is all too believable with a foundation in Trump’s re-election. I really enjoyed the description of the world in the near future and the effects this has on the people who have to live through it, even though it is degraded to to the point where life becomes almost impossible.
I am a sucker for stories involving people with empathic ability where it is possible to talk mind to mind. If you enjoy this type of story the Alsean series by Fletcher DeLancey is worth a read. They both have a similar feel and a thoroughly enjoyable.

Sometimes sci-fi is a *little* too close to home. In this dystopian outlook we've a world built around the fall of environmental controls as well as a government that's devolved into military leadership. Isolationist Julia Thule is a corp tech courier with a secret. She's the most sought after person in North America.

This is Aten's fourth published novel and here she's spread her wings into the sci-fi genre easily. Scene pacing is top notch, the action is detailed and gritty, and she really makes you root for the connections Julia makes as she opens up her universe of one.

This isn't a rainbows and unicorns novel. You can read it at the beach if you want, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking to relax. It has a tendency to grab you by the front collar and not let you go till the end. Which I'd like to add has quite a twist. It's definitely a 'thinkers' ending.

I highly, highly recommend this novel. It's one of the best novel's I've read all year.

Lovely romance in a dystopian sci-fi world!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2019

I really enjoyed this book - it was set in a dystopian world, had sci-fi elements (I love Dream Walkers abilities so much - I wish I could be one!), and most importantly it had romance. I think the only thing that dampened my enjoyment somewhat was my own expectation. I expected it to be an action packed dytopian sci-fi adventure, and whilst it has elements of all those things, it is first and foremost a romance. With that in mind I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves these genres but just needs a bit of romance in their lives. It certainly makes for an exciting and thought provoking read.
