The award-winning Dreamland Chronicles are now in ebook!
The Woman of His Dreams is William Mark Simmons’ gripping final instalment of the Dreamland Chronicles, 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 final adventure, Robert Ripley finds himself in a situation he could never have fathomed.
Ripley wakes up in a parallel universe in the body of a woman, Nicole Doucet.
No idea how he got there, Ripley is launched into a series of adventures across the Dreamland, navigating original and parallel universes.
On his journey, he will encounter friends and foes alike… but he does not yet know that the Dreamland is coming to an end…
After the terminal diagnosis of a tumor for Michael Straeker, the programmer of the world, things in Dreamland are less secure, and Fantasyworld has become more real.
What follows is a race against time, as Robert Ripley must struggle to confront this harsh new reality before all is lost for good.
The Woman of His Dreams is an enthralling blend of science fiction and fantasy, humour and break-neck action. It is the third and final book in the Dreamland Chronicles.
