The Nightmare Virus

By: Nadine Brandes

Narrated by: Greg D. Barnett

Some viruses go after the body. But the Nightmare Virus goes after the mind.

When dream technology goes wrong, a virus spreads across the globe, trapping people in a universal dreamscape. They call it the Nightmare Virus.

Cain Cross is determined to find a cure . . . if he can decipher his brother’s chicken-scratch formula notes. But when he gets infected, he has only 22 days until he’s trapped in the mental prison forever. Now, every time he falls asleep, he must fight in a Nightmare Arena until he earns his freedom to live in the “new world” that exists only in the mind.

Then he finds a way to manipulate the Nightmare—to change it by mere thought.

Forced to navigate a world of nightbeasts, mistblades, and half-truths, Cain turns his focus to survival. When the Emperor offers him a LifeSuPod—and access to a cure—in exchange for a dangerous favor, Cain thinks he’s found a way out. But Cain’s new power threatens to take him on paths that jeopardize his very soul.

Will he continue searching for a cure, or will he swear allegiance to the Nightmare? And the bigger question might be . . . will he even have a choice?

What an amazing, unique story!

I loved this! very well written and well performed, believable and deep characters, and an intriguing storyline and setting!

this is a perfect mix between christan and fiction

I loved the story with the imagination and the fighting and the christan things...amazing...
but there are a few things where the story seems to rush forward without time for the characters to actually grow relation....like the romace....other than that...amazing❤️

Deeper than it first appears

Wow! This story goes way deeper than it would first appear. An excellent read to discuss with your child or teen and to spur the moral imagination.

Imagination at its Best

I loved the slow reveal of truth in this story and how we are led to see both sides of the world. Truly a masterpiece of thought and adventure that reveals the importance of Light!

Another great story from the legend herself, Nadine Brandes!

A beautiful and thoughtful parallel about a Christians walk with God and our journey through this life. The story was intriguing and exciting with interesting twists along the way.
