My Review:N. Lawrence Mann, Author of “Coma Dreams” has written a suspenseful, intriguing, intense, frightening, unusual, psychological thriller. The Genres for this novel are Fiction, Para-Normal Thriller, Sci-Fi, Psychological Thriller with a Subgenre of “Addiction Fiction”. The drug “GLOW” is symbolic for many things. The author describes his quirky, dysfunctional characters as complicated and complex.
This is the second book in the series and I really feel that I was at somewhat of a disadvantage not reading the first book. That is just my opinion. Can you imagine someone having a certain non-medical ability to bring a loved one out of a coma? I am sure that that is unreasonable but many people would appreciate if that could happen.
In this story, a HUGE mistake, TRAGIC mistake, occurs, when Brennen Reynold tries to awaken Air Force Colonel Brett Strattford from a coma. Colonel Brett Strattford is in a coma after an automobile accident. His last thoughts while driving were that he regretted many things that he had done in his life. Unfortunately in Brennen Reynold’s attempts to revive the Colonel from his coma, it is not the Colonel that is woken. It is someone who looks like the Colonel, and is the Colonel’s body, but is far more dangerous than one can imagine.
Brennen Reynold and his very strange friends try to piece what has gone wrong, and how killings and murders can be stopped. There are very strange occurrences in this story. There is a touch of Science Fiction seen in this story, a cat that types what it thinks, since it has trouble talking, and very strange dreams that appear to be real and dangerous, and happenings in another dimension. I would recommend this novel for those readers who appreciate an unusual combination of suspenseful and thrilling genres.

For the first half of this book I felt that the pace was quite slow but at about half way through til the end it had me on the edge of my seat wondering how it would end. I really enjoyed the scientific nature of the story as well as the suspense build up of it. I would recommend this to others.
