Savage Dreams

The Sleepers War #2 / 2
by Jonathan Maberry
Savage Dreams (The Sleepers War #2) by Jonathan Maberry
Unrated

The rebellion against the Flock rages!

The first team of Sleepers has awakened, each with shocking and destructive new powers. War is coming and the whole galaxy will burn.

As Flock warships search the galaxy for the stolen super-warship, Juggernaut, the battered crew seek for a haven to rest and repair their craft. Historian Lexie Chang and enhanced Tier One soldier Jason Horse are in a desperate race to preserve their secret weapon.

But the whole galaxy is torn apart by waves of brutal nightmares that push many into madness and violence. Worlds burn! The Flock high command fears that more Sleepers are awakening with devastating new abilities. The twisted Flock agent, Lord Hell, is close to cracking the science to turn the alien invaders into super-powered monsters. His ally is a rogue Sleeper who wants to tear apart the minds of human and alien alike.

In the darkness of space, new and even more terrible forces are rising. A race of beings older than the known universe are racing through the void toward Earth. And on some forgotten world, another group of Sleepers are evolving into something like gods, and their wrath could tear the galaxy apart.

The crew of Juggernaut faces incredible dangers at every turn, and even with new allies rising to join their fight, they know that this is war that may be unwinnable. Yet if they lose, humanity falls with them.

SLEEPERS WAR: SAVAGE DREAMS throws gasoline on the fires of rebellion and sets the Milky Way to burn!

Jonathan Maberry

Jonathan Maberry is a master weaver of suspense, horror, and dark adventure, with a unique ability to blend the supernatural with the gritty edges of reality. Born in the working-class neighborhoods of Philadelphia, Maberry’s early years were steeped in the pulse of urban life, which would later become a vivid backdrop for many of his stories. His career has been anything but conventional—drawing from his deep love of horror, martial arts, and folklore, he’s crafted a body of work that resonates with fans of both thrilling action and emotional depth.

Best known for his Joe Ledger series, a blend of horror, military fiction, and speculative thrillers, Maberry’s books often challenge readers with moral dilemmas, personal sacrifice, and the shadowy forces that lurk beneath the surface of society. But it’s not just the fast-paced action or the edge-of-your-seat suspense that makes his writing so compelling; it’s the way he builds real, relatable characters and explores themes of courage, survival, and the complexities of human nature, even in the face of the supernatural.

In addition to his Joe Ledger series, Maberry has earned praise for his Rot & Ruin novels, which take a unique approach to the zombie genre, focusing not just on the horrors of the undead, but also on the people who survive in a world ravaged by the apocalypse. These stories are more than just about zombies—they’re about growing up, finding hope, and fighting to keep what makes us human, even when everything around us is falling apart.

Maberry’s work has garnered numerous accolades, including multiple Bram Stoker Awards, and his stories have been adapted into comics, TV shows, and video games, further cementing his status as a force in modern horror and thriller fiction. With a career spanning decades, his influence continues to inspire writers and fans alike.

At the heart of Jonathan Maberry’s writing is an unrelenting drive to explore what it means to be human in the face of the extraordinary. Whether he’s plunging his characters into apocalyptic scenarios, exposing the darkest corners of society, or threading supernatural elements into his narratives, Maberry’s work challenges readers to confront their own fears, hopes, and the complexities of life and death. For those who crave more than just thrills, his books are a deep dive into the heart of what it means to survive—and to truly live.
