Description
DANGEROUS DREAMS " . . . if I'd known what lay ahead, I would never have slept again." On July 23, 1587, England established its first permanent North American settlement on Roanoke Island in present day North Carolina. Barely a month later, the colony's deteriorating circumstances forced Governor John White to return to England for additional supplies and colonists. But war with Spain delayed his return until 1590, when upon his arrival, he discovered the colony had vanished. To this day, the "Lost Colony" remains the greatest unsolved mystery in American history. Twenty-first Century graduate student Allie O'Shay awakens from a disturbingly lifelike dream of early colonial settlers. When the dreams continue in movie-like sequence night after night, Allie finally deduces that she's dreaming the gripping saga of the Lost Colony. But as she becomes inextricably connected to the colonists and their desperate struggle for survival, she discovers a dangerous dark side to the dreams and that there may be far more to her bond with the Lost Colony than she could ever have imagined. Mike Rhynard inexorably draws readers into a tempest of gripping suspense and layered mystery with a masterful blend of historical accounts, old and new theories, and creative story telling about the Lost Colony-all through the lens of mind-bending dream science hypotheses that, at once, entice and dare readers to venture into Allie O'Shay's Dangerous Dreams.
