Imagine
every night entering a nightmare world you can’t
escape and being told real life is a dream. Skye Brown has it all: the
cool job, the hot boyfriend, the apartment on New York’s
Upper West Side. But lately she can’t enjoy any of it.
She’s having dreams of a post-apocalyptic world. Of a bleak
futuristic wasteland. Of a struggle against oppression. And
she’s been told she’s a...MOONGAZER.
But what is that? And what is reality? In her dreams, she’s
not Skye Brown at all, but Mariah Quinn. In her dreams
there’s Dawn, the beautiful yet haunted soldier, and Skye is
but the empty shell of a girl he once loved. And there was a betrayal,
a great betrayal. Ripped between Dark Siders and club kids, the mundane
and the mystic, Skye must discover who she is, what she wants and who
wants her. And why. But in the glow of the moon, it’s not
always easy to recognize the face in the mirror.
Reviews
“An enthralling combination of The Matrix and Snow Crash with
a
bit of Blade Runner thrown into the mix, MOONGAZER immediately draws
the reader into one woman's terrifying struggle to understand her
identity—is she Skye Brown, a successful game designer living
in
Manhattan or is she really Mariah Quinn, a woman haunted by the
post-apocalyptic dreamland she escapes to every night? But what is
reality? And who can she trust to find out the truth?”
