Book Description:  Jaren Reese is just another red collar, trapped at the bottom of Descarta’s genetic caste system. But in the Dream Box he can forge a new digital identity for himself. In the Dream box, he is Balmus the Wolf Knight.
Balmus has long since carried a torch for the linker Petra but he doesn’t know her, not really. Outside of the Dream Box she is nothing more than a fantasy, a dream that is out of his reach. But Brea is the real thing. A living and breathing person outside of the Dream Box and Jaren needs to decide if he is willing to give up his fantasy for reality. 

But when the Dream Box that Jaren depends on crashes due to the evolution of a hostile A.I. life form, a secret military branch commissions a team of gamers and hackers to go back into the corrupted Dream Box to eliminate the threat and Jaren is given the chance of a lifetime, though it comes at a price and Jaren now needs to decide just how much he’s willing to loose because the war about to be waged will be one on two fronts- the corporeal and the virtual.

Favorite Quotes:

What did you expect? he chided. The Jackal Knight, the Crimson Hind, the Grim One, and the Leech... They were worthy opponents, every one. But this is the Lion Knight, the Paragon. He reads the language of the angels...
A dull clamor of steel, a swell of silence, and then all was lost to the thunder of a thousand voices. A smile tugged at the corners of The Wolf Knight’s mouth. At least that shot had connected.



This Book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
This was a story that there were two worlds one is the Dream Box and the other the Real World.  In having two worlds this story at times became very confusing. I was not sure who was where are why.  There were many characters that I needed to sort out. But in doing so it made the story complicated and I lost interest quickly.  The idea for the story was a good one.
