A Lasting Dream of Murder

The world is wrapped in a lasting dream

The Weary Road Murders, Book 2

Four years after the addition of touch, taste and smell to sight and sound on Weary, the World-Wide Entertainment & Active Resource Utility, the near-real experience of living virtual lives has become even more attractive.

Almost everyone spends as much time on Weary as possible. That includes John Allan, Howard Esquivel, and their five wives. But tragedy strikes when one wife detects an intruder in a complex Arabian Nights tale of love and loss all seven are experiencing together. An unseen psychopath penetrates and joins what was supposed to be a safe virtual adventure, and no one knows how or why.

The families and FBI cybercrimes expert Anitra Olafsdottir must find this master of cyber technology with the power to kill before anyone else dies.

Reviews

If virtual reality ever gets as good as these VR adventures, I guess I’ll have to invest in a helmet. But you don’t need to be a technophile, or even a science fiction or mystery fan, to love this book…  A Murder in the RealWorld is a VERY good book. The characters, whether encountered in VR or in the real world, are well-developed; the descriptions sometimes lyrical, and one can become immersed in the plot(s).

Hungry Bookworm

As our own virtual technology expands, this is a cautionary tale of where we could be as a society. A Murder in the RealWorld explores a kind of digital dystopia, where VR technology provides an endless variety of sexual encounters and epic adventures in a world-wide VR connective service called Weary, creating fictional lives that few are willing to put aside to resume the mundane activities of work, family and friends.

This is the first book I have read from this author and I’m hooked. Joseph Green weaves an amazing storyline which is captivating and grabs you. It does not let go until the very end. Looking forward to reading more in the future.
