The Quantum Dreamer is the first novel in a coming of age, YA series exploring where we go when we all fall asleep.

Ephraim Orion discovers he belongs in a small group of people born with the next step for mankind. The ensuing mark of evolution is not a physical gift, but an ability to launch the mind into a cosmic consciousness – a dream world where one does not obey the laws of physics – they create.

As a humble jock with a puppy love crush, EO doesn’t think twice about his remarkable gift – a power awakened only after falling asleep.  He spends most of his waking hours daydreaming about a clever girl named Mackie – ever in his thoughts, yet oblivious to his existence.  While dealing with the emotional struggles of a young man in love, EO must cope with a family stricken over death and a new friend shaken by mental illness with life-threatening effects.  EO quickly learns the tricks of his trade while meeting other dreamers with infectious personalities and secrets turning his life upside down with a potential to change the world.

First I would like to say, as a reader I enjoy creating the world in my mind that the author describes, Too much detail of the setting can ruin that for me. This books descriptions were like poetry. The way the details were put together, and the adjectives used flowed so well together, I was amazed. It gave you so much detail to create this world, but left just enough for you to envision it yourself.

The characters in this novel were all well written and relatable. I found myself enjoying their interactions with a smirk or a giggle thinking,

“That’s something I would say.”

You can feel the love, happiness, sadness, and grief that comes from within this story. The relationships are all beautiful and have meaning. I enjoyed how everyone within the story just made it so much better. No random characters thrown in for dialog or plot changing purposes.

The plot of the book was different, and something I have never read about before. It is always fun to jump into a more original idea then something that has been done a million times.

The ending had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Once it was over it left you wanting so much more. I can not wait for the second installment of this Story.

I gave this Novel 5 Stars!

The Originality, Plot, Characters, and Art are all so wonderful. The Author did a fantastic job with this story.

GREAT JOB CK SNYDER!
