Synopsis: "First there was the dreamer, a middle-aged professor caught in a nightmare and unable to wake up. Then there was the woman, able by a combination of technology and her own unique psi-talent to enter his dream and try to save him from it—but this time she too is trapped in the nightmare. Finally there was her husband. His talent for joining others' dreams is less developed than hers, but his love is great and he is the only hope. Unless his love can find a way out all three will die, linked in the strangest, strongest nightmare you have ever experienced." – quoted from the back cover of the Ace mass market paperback.
