Review # 1 was written on 2011-10-07 00:00:00 Phil Phipps I don't usually like novels that involve Native Americans, but this one had a plot that really drew me in and kept me reading. I loved the mysticism that involved prophetic dreams and dreaming places. Luke and Mara really heated up the pages as well. The chemistry between the two was electric, even though Luke was the typical Harlequin Alpha Male jerk throughout most of the story. The secondary characters more than made up for his shortcomings though. It was hard not to love his grandmother and Rebecca, two of the elders of the Kisi tribe. I really loved the concept of Dreamwalking, and how Luke and Mara shared dreams, and those dreams were pretty spicy! The fact that Luke and Mara are connected through past lives makes the story doubly great, as well as the evil that is following them and trying to destroy the tribe. The only thing I wish Jeanne would have developed better was Luke's paintings. I wish something would have been done about the characters in his paintings that collectors felt came to life. This was really a great read from the old Shadows line and one worth reading if you can find it.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-09 00:00:00 Ben Bettridge Cruiser Dreams Following on from Dream Dancer, Cruiser Dreams explores the continuing story of Shebat – Earth brat, outsider, and adoptive daughter and heir to the Kerrion Empire – and of the ongoing struggle she endures in the face of familial backbiting, intergalactic political intrigue and cosmos spanning dynastic aspirations. But as we soon discover, it’s also a story about perspective: about embracing change or welcoming stagnation; choosing right or wrong; promoting rejection or acceptance. It’s a story where what “is” needs to be recognized, while what “might be” must still be brought into being. Cruiserkind is evolving into more – much more – than the sum of their component parts and supremely advanced AI. The addition of the human mind and its freedom to express itself in any way it desires adds a hitherto unknown dynamic to the greater holistic “self” enjoyed by/between the ships that draws them into an entirely new narrative. One that encompasses a symphonic unity ushering them toward a higher and more complete kind of “being” than ever before. But how to tread the minefield of this dawning new age? Employing richly descriptive and meaningful prose, Morris is able to encompass a depth of understanding and expression that allows the reader to explore – and then savor – the full nuance of the symbiosis experienced by those brave pilots risking insanity, and their increasingly sophisticated, near sentient ships, and how that burgeoning relationship almost brings an empire to its knees. Ethical and philosophical dilemmas abound. Is loyalty and love enough to win the day? Find out in a superbly entertaining space opera that is as astute in its insight as it is disturbing
