Description
Dr. Cass Baros is
haunted by dreams of an alien world...
...and will do anything to find it.
Relentlessly, she works her science team--along with her co-project leader and
fiancé, Dr. Julian Saunders--in order to create the first lab-contained
wormhole. Their boss, Dr. Janson, has a secret agenda. He adds a military
contingent, which expands their six person team to twelve and increases
tensions between the members. Egos will clash, agendas will cross, and their
worlds will be undone as they travel through the wormhole.
The team, unable to return home and facing numerous dangers--conflicting
desires, burning suns, cannibalistic monsters--is plunged into an adventure
beyond their control. They struggle to unravel millennia old secrets in an
alien world where nothing is what it seems. While Captain Lewis' leadership
strengthens, Cass deals with her destiny as the brajj queen, and the brajj,
Jeamon, questions his lifelong beliefs and loyalties.
Cass and her team wrestle with her royal status to the brajj, while being
tossed between love and betrayal, genius and madness, and a jealousy
frightening enough to cause the destruction of worlds.
Advance Praise
"Strong Sci-Fi
themes and a positively original book, Dreams of the Queen is one of the most
unique "other world" books I've read."--Pavarti Tyler, bestselling author of
transitive fiction Aug 2013
"Dreams of the Queen... this book is very readable, quite
well-composed for self-published fiction, and above all else you can lose
yourself in the story and travel through the wormhole with Dr. Baros and her
team. I'd like to emphasize that I think the book is in the top echelon of
self-published books." A.M. Boyt -scifireviewsandgiveaways.com
Sept 2013
"The alien culture of the brajj is deftly revealed over time. Plot
twists at the end are genuinely startling, and leave the reader anticipating
the sequel. - IndieReader Dec 2012
"Devotees of the paranormal genre will appreciate Patricks' original
work [...] science fiction and magic meld together perfectly. As readers'
imagination is put to the test, it's apparent that only the strong will
survive. The dash of romance creeps in slowly, but doesn't overwhelm or
interfere with the plot that will keep fans itching for more. -InD'Tale
Magazine May 2013
"4/5 - Patricks throws us one curve ball after another while still
keeping her characters engaging enough so that we are affected by each loss.
She also deftly paints a picture of each main protagonist with all their glory
and faults and presents us with a gripping climax".Reader's Favorite June
2013
"...there was one sex-scene passage with a shocking twist/transition
what was absolutely brilliant in execution. Writers could study that passage:
here's a technique for making a marginally smarmy character truly despicable,
in half a page." Richard McGowan - Smashed-Rat-On-Press May 2013
