When you wake up, does it seem like your dreams were real? Maybe they were. Imagine if Stephanie Meyer and Suzanne Collins sat down together to write an up-tempo, action packed sci-fi thriller featuring terrifying nightmares, an evil emperor, a beautiful princess, and gladtiator games on another planet. That's The Dream Rider, the newest release from Ernest Dempsey, the author who brought you The Secret of the Stones and The Cleric's Vault. Falling from buildings, being attacked by terrifying strangers, and ghostly hands that strangle in the night are just some of the fears The Dream Rider must overcome. Finn McClaren is an average college student, mediocre in every possible way, until one day, when strange men try to kill him. Finn wakes up in his dorm room to realize the whole thing was just a dream. Or was it? The nightmares continue, forcing Finn to face his deepest fears until one night, he stops running and fights back. When he awakens, he is no longer in his dorm room, but on a strange planet on the other side of the galaxy. After being arrested, Finn is thrust into an underground prison where the inmates are forced to fight to the death in the arena games. While there, he learns he has incredible powers, and of the true reason he has come to the alien world. The Dream Rider is a fun, fast-paced, science fiction adventure that also asks serious questions about our fears, self-esteem, beliefs, and facing challenges in life. \-Amazon

Just weeks after returning from his heroic triumph on the alien world of Sideros, Finn McClaren senses something is amiss. His proxy, Sam has disappeared, and communication with the alien queen, Nela, has been cut off. When he finds one of his professors murdered, he is thrown into a battle of life and death with a mysterious assassin. Finn wakes up, and finds himself on the other side of the galaxy once more. This time, his friend Nate has accidentally come with him. The two find Sideros in a state of marshall law. The dead emperor's right hand, Jari, escaped the rebellion and built an army of robots and men that overran the Siderians to reclaim the planet as his own. The Siderians established a base of operations deep within a mountain, but time is running out. Jari's forces have laid siege to the little resistance and soon, all hope will be lost, unless a hero comes to save them. Finn's journey leads him to the discovery of a powerful weapon known as the black orb. If he can fight his way through an ancient evil, and learn a deep truth about himself, the orb may just be the thing they need to win the war.
