This is an amazing book. An intelligent, thought-provoking, ominous, modern-day apocalyptic book.
It's 2010 and the world is riddled by a plague known as Sleepless. It renders the infected unable to sleep and as the body breaks down from not sleeping, they go crazy and eventually die. Parker Haas, an undercover LAPD officer, is investigating the underground distribution of a new pharmaceutical called Dreamer, the only known drug to give a slight reprieve to the suffering. The world has gone to shambles due to the plague and creature comforts are scarce. While there is no cure, the drug that could help all the sufferers is practically none existent to the public. Parker's job of finding large scale illegal sells of Dreamer leads him to the discovery of a conspiracy on an epic scale. With unexpected murders, a highly skilled assassin, a boss who doesn't listen, a huge role-playing universe similar to W.O.W., and Sleepless hitting far too close to home, Parker finds himself trying to solve a mystery that's bigger then anyone really understands while overcoming hurdles that no one wants to face.
With an eloquent, oddly touching ending and an adventure that kept me turning the pages, this book has easily taken up position as a new favorite. One I will have to purchase and read again!
