Summary: A Personal Classic
Comment: Considering that this book has gone out of print and nobody else has posted any reviews, I guess it won't stand the test of time. Nevertheless, it struck a special chord, and it stays in my mind. It's a fantasy in which a man named Shaun Reed finds himself trapped at an Eden-like resort. He has no memories of his past, and the only clue as to why he's there is a cryptic plaque signed by "The Dreamers". Is this a vacation? A radical form of therapy? An experiment? Brainwashing? As Shaun wrestles against the limits of his paradise/prison, he drives towards an understanding that remains just out of reach, while his sleep is flooded with troubled memories and eerie fantasies. The essential appeal is not the mystery of "The Dreamers" who did this to him (although that's certainly an intriguing question), but rather in Shaun's struggle with himself; a psychological struggle. I'm drawn to novels with a psychological edge, and these two writers, early in their careers, came together to do a superb job with this one. It touched me and continues to touch me. Am I the only one?
