Jaguar

Beschreibung

In dreams, anything is possible... The Jaguar controls people in two worlds through their dreams, causing madness. In the world of the Roam, he brands them like cattle and controls an army of priests to inflict cruel punishments for any type of resistance to his will. But others travel the dreamways of both worlds-Eddie Reyes and his girlfriend, Maryellen, in this world, and their counterparts, Afriqua Lee and Rafferty, in the parallel world of the Roam. They all dream the travel dreams. At times, they break the dream fabric and cross the threshold into the alternate worlds of their counterparts. As the jaguar priests close in on the Roam, Eddie must take to the dreamways to hunt down the Jaguar in his own dreams. He must destroy the Jaguar before he gains control in both worlds and destroys Eddie and his friends. This thought-provoking psychological thriller from Bill Ransom, author of Viravax and Burn, keeps you guessing until the very last page.
