The Dream Conspiracy

Book Cover & Preview Text
Ryan quickly ascertained that only three people had been killed. One was the fruit stall vendor, while the other two were pedestrians who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Nobody had noticed the car parked precariously nearby before it exploded, sending shards of glass and iron, like bullets, in all directions. Only a few people had been seriously injured, while a dozen or so others received minor wounds, although they also suffered from shock. It looked like the work of the IRA or one of its factions. But Ryan didn’t even consider them. He was sure this was the work of a Middle Eastern faction, made to look like someone else was responsible.
After identifying himself to police officers, Ryan crossed the barrier to inspect the scene more closely. He headed straight for the remains of the vehicle, and soon made a grisly discovery.
A hand still gripped the steering wheel, while a foot, attached to part of a leg, lay on the floor near the clutch pedal. There appeared to be no signs of any other human remains, but Ryan managed to look more closely, and soon found a piece of paper. It may have been ripped apart in the explosion, or it may have been done by hand, but it had some kind of writing on it, possibly a form of Arabic, or some other Middle Eastern country.
Ryan quickly placed it in his pocket and moved back from the car, to survey the rest of the scene.

About the Book
Returning to the daily routine, he discovers he wants more out of life. Unexpectedly, changes are then imposed on him, and he soon finds himself at the centre of a conspiracy. But before he can uncover the plot, he and wife Carmel, are suddenly sent on an intriguing journey that ultimately leads them on a wild goose chase around Europe, to North Africa, and home again.
On the way, civil strife, accidents and other disasters increase in number and intensity for no apparent reason, as they try to figure out who is really behind the chaotic state of the world.
The further they travel, the more they discover about themselves, the people around them, and the reality of what began as a dream.
About the Author
It was no wonder he chose journalism on leaving school in 1974, and followed this path for the next twenty-two years. Several jobs since then, just didn’t have the same satisfaction, so he began writing in his spare time.
He completed his first novel, The Longest Dream, early in 2001, and it was published later that year by 1st Books.
The Dream Conspiracy continues the story.
Glenn has also had a short story published as part of a collection, by NZ Publishers, Harper Collins.
