Description

A blend of hard science fiction and RPG-like fantasy games from two of the genre's most beloved New York Times–bestselling, award-winning authors.

Eviane's first visit to the-state-of-art amusement arena Dream Park ended in disaster: the special effects had seemed more real than life . . . until the holograms she was shooting with live ammunition turned out to be solid flesh and blood . . . and very, very dead.

Haunted by the past, rebounding from a lengthy spell in a mental hospital, she has returned to Dream Park to exorcise a nightmare that has become reality. But in Dream Park, nothing is what it seems. The Inuit mythology controlling the images is part of a "Fat Ripper Special" designed to implant new behavioral memes. The players are struggling against the game master, one another, and their own demons. And there is a killer who wants to ensure Eviane never regains her memory . . . no matter what it costs.
