At the heart of this book is the supernatural ability known as “dream invasion,” which seamlessly combines superpowered crime-solving with urban campus life. The protagonist is an ordinary first-year college student who unexpectedly awakens as a “dreamwalker.” He can enter other people’s dreams to obtain information and influence what happens within them. The story begins on campus before expanding to places such as the black market, a government black-ops organization, and a human experimentation lab, gradually unraveling a shocking conspiracy spanning twenty years and implicating figures from politics, business, and academia.
The book’s greatest appeal lies in the fact that superpowers are no cure-all. Information found in dreams is difficult to verify, and the protagonist must use his intelligence and courage to solve real cases while facing the dilemma that “dream evidence is not recognized by the law in the real world.”
