Lucid

When dreams become limitless and reality begins to fade, the greatest danger isn't the dream… it's the dreamer.

Reed Caldwell has spent his life chafing at limits.

The limits placed on him by his parents' expectations. The limits of his own time and patience. The limits of society's tolerance and imagination. He has always known he was meant for more.
So when he uncovers the leftover fragments of an abandoned classified government experiment into lucid dreaming, Reed knows he has found the key to unlocking his future.
With the help of two brilliant fellow Harvard medical students, Reed recreates the experimental drug designed to unlock the human mind's most mysterious frontier.
The results are beyond anything he ever imagined.
Inside his dreams, Reed can be anything. A hero. A genius. A god.
But with more and more nights spent in the driver's seat of his dreams, the duller the waking world becomes. Reality begins to shrink, feeling smaller and more restrictive with each rise of the sun. The only solution is to push himself deeper into fantasies he could never indulge while awake.
Inevitably, the lines between reality and morality begin to fade.
When an investigation threatens to expose the secret experiment, everything Reed seeks is suddenly placed at risk--and he must decide just how far he'll go to protect his dream.
The pressure grows. The stakes grow with it. The discovery that could change the world may destroy everyone involved before it ever sees the light of day.
Because in a place where any desire can become a reality, the greatest danger isn't the dream.

It's the dreamer.

When the world's first space elevator begins its historic climb to orbit, a series of system failures reveals a terrifying truth: someone on board intends to turn humanity's greatest engineering triumph into a mass grave.


The world is watching as humankind's first space elevator begins its inaugural four-day climb into space—a dream centuries in the making.
But for Mariana Hughes, it's her worst nightmare.
Petrified of heights and grieving the recent loss of her parents, Mari boards despite her terror, for one reason alone: her younger brother Danny, an eccentric, autistic genius who is only just beginning to emerge from his own prison of grief after winning the global contest to name the elevator.
For him, it's the adventure of a lifetime.
But soon after launch, everything begins to go wrong.
Systems start to fail. Communication with Earth disappears. Critical controls stop responding.
Amid a maze of deceit, sabotage, and disparate agendas, it soon becomes clear the disaster isn't an accident.
With thousands of miles of cable beneath them and the vacuum of space above, escape isn't an option.
An enemy is on board, silent and sinister. And if the truth isn't uncovered in time, humanity's greatest new triumph will instead become its deadliest grave…
