Length: 6 hrs and 16 mins

Publisher's Summary

Workaholic insurance attorney Luke Darringer has it all: money, looks, ambition. Sure, he hasn’t taken a vacation in over a decade, and his personal life is almost nonexistent - but that’s a small price to pay in order to maintain strict control, and minimize his vulnerabilities. 

But then Luke’s firm, with the help of his cheeky administrative assistant Charlotte, strong-arms him into becoming the first-ever client of the new Dreamscape Adventures, Inc. The new company promises fantastical vacations to wealthy clients, as well as controlled therapeutic experiences to individuals suffering from various forms of mental illness, such as autism and PTSD. They’re a potentially huge client for Luke’s firm, but they need liability insurance before they can get off the ground. Luke expects he'll have a quick little canyoneering adventure like he did back in his college days, and then get right back to the grindstone.

But Luke’s adventure doesn’t quite go the way he planned. Eli, the entrepreneur in charge, assures Luke that the glitches are nothing to worry about, and they’ll have things under control again in no time. Instead, Luke soon finds himself in a wilderness of questionable reality, where he is responsible not only for his own safety, but also Charlotte’s, Eli’s, and that of a nonverbal autistic boy whose vulnerability strikes a bit too close to home. Forced to confront his past and his deepest fears, Luke must decide whether to rewrite history and become the man he's always wanted to be - or whether instead he is doomed to repeat it.

I LOVEd It!

I loved this story. It was way more than one guy gone on a dreamscape adventure to underwrite a new business… Way more than that. I don’t even want to say what happens because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. Just know if you like happy endings read this book. I can only hope there is a dreamscape adventure number two about Luke Charlotte and his dad or maybe a new time travel business needs underwriting right around the time another their life changing event happens, LOL!

What can I say about the narrator he is the reason I chose this book. So of course I thought he did AN excellent I love his voice and his calm demeanor even when he is pretending to be upset he seems quite calm I love him Matthew Barry is a great narrator.

Fantastic!!!

Great story and Narration!

Luke (an uptight corporate executive) and his trusty office assistant get sent to test out a cutting edge virtual reality vacation system to determine if his company will approve their liability insurance application. Shortly after getting into their simulation things start to go wrong. Will Luke and Charlotte survive as the real and the virtual blur together?

This was an awesome listen! It had me sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time!

5 stars is not enough for this!!!!!

Vary rarely do I find a book that I feel needs more than 5 stars. This is one of them. Our protagonist/hero/antihero/main character is a man who decides whether or not an insurance company will underwrite a business and provide it with insurance. He is highly successful due to both his business acumen and his amazingly efficient and personable assistant. His latest job? A virtual vacation company that will also provide therapy for individuals who have suffered traumatic experiences and allow them to overcome and re-enter society....well as you can imagine things take a tragic turn of events putting him and his secretary who had begged to be allowed to join into a life or death situation along with a rich clients son. Can they get through it? Will they all survive? Will he underwrite the company for insurance if he makes it through? Ok all that being said. This is one damned amazing book well written and well narrated...if you can get through the last 30 minutes without shedding a few tears 😭 I’d be impressed...had me mopping my eyes up big time. Enjoy. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

This was a great new concept!

I really enjoyed Dreamscape, Inc. It has a novel concept on AI which i enjoyed. Great job kudos for C.A. Gray! Highly recommend it!

Matthew Berry did an awesome job of developing character vocals and keeping the story at a brisk pace that kept your attention throughout.

Interesting futuristic vacation idea!

This is an interesting idea on futuristic vacations and psych therapy. Luke is an insurance broker, whose company is looking to insure a new company that promises dream vacations and/or psych therapy. His boss asked him to be the first customer, in order to screen the company for safety. This story has twists and turns and appears to turn in to a nightmare for Luke. This book reminded me of the 1997 movie "The Game" and was worth a listen to anyone who likes sci-fi!

A pretty good read

Dreamscape Adventures.
A pretty good read , interesting and entertaining storyline. A story with a moral tale about a guy who becomes a better person.
Good clear narration.
I received a free copy of this audio book at my own request and voluntarily leave this review.

Therapeutic Adventure

I chose this novel as sci-fi, but it is more of a therapeutic adventure with sweet, pg rated romance mixed in. However it’s categorized, it’s a good story with good character development and a positive ending. Matthew Berry did a believable narration with all the characters.

Not anything like you think!

When reading the summary of this book, I thought I knew how it would go and was intrigued. Some of the story went along my line of thinking but mostly I was blown out of the water and surprised. You will not regret this story!

very well read

I've had to stop listening to this after getting about halfway through, mainly out of frustration with the main protagonist but also because a story about mental health is the last thing I need to hear when I'm dealing with my own. The story is meant to be a mind bender I think, but I just got more and more frustrated and depressed.
I was offered a code for the book in return for an honest review. I'm just sorry I got the opportunity when I'm in a bad headspace. I think that if I weren't dealing with these issues, I would probably enjoy the story.
As for the narrator, he did a great job, he needs to work on his female voices a bit, but sadly the female characters were written a little on the simpering side.

Unique approach

This is the story of a lawyer to takes an adventure in a new Dreamscape adventure to ensure it is acceptable to be insured by his firm. AS luck would have it things don't go as planned and he is stranded within the VR dreamscape and has to take charge to ensure his small group survive.

This is a very good book. It is entertaining and the narration is great.

This book was provided free of charge with expectation of an honest review.

A different perspective

The book is good and well narrated. It approaches the arrival of VR from a very different perspective and this allows it to take the story in quite a different direction. I recieved a review copy of this book.

☺

This is my first audio book c.a.Gray and narrated Matthew e berry it's very good have it 5 out of 5 will look out for more of there work
