Description As Books Sleepless

From bestselling author Charlie Huston comes a novel about the fears that find us all during dark times and the courage and sacrifice that can save us in the face of unimaginable odds. Gripping, unnerving, exhilarating, and haunting, Sleepless is well worth staying up for.

What former philosophy student Parker Hass wanted was a better world. A world both just and safe for his wife and infant daughter. So he joined the LAPD and tried to make it that way. But the world changed. Struck by waves of chaos carried in on a tide of insomnia. A plague of sleeplessness.

Park can sleep, but he is wide awake. And as much as he wishes he was dreaming, his eyes are open. He has no choice but to see it all. That's his job. Working undercover as a drug dealer in a Los Angeles ruled in equal parts by martial law and insurgency, he's tasked with cutting off illegal trade in Dreamer, the only drug that can give the infected what they most crave: sleep.

After a year of lost leads and false trails, Park stumbles into the perilous shadows cast by the pharmaceuticals giant behind Dreamer. Somewhere in those shadows, at the nexus of disease and drugs and money, a secret is hiding. Drawn into the inner circle of a tech guru with a warped agenda and a special use for the sleepless themselves, Park thinks he knows what that secret might be.
 
To know for certain, he will have to go deeper into the restless world. His wife has become sleepless, and their daughter may soon share the same fate. For them, he will risk what they need most from him: his belief that justice
must be served. Unknown to him, his choice ties all of their futures to the singularly deadly nature of an aging mercenary who stalks Park.

The deeper Park stumbles through the dark, the more he is convinced that it is obscuring the real world. Bring enough light and the shadows will retreat. Bring enough light and everyone will see themselves again. Bring enough light and he will find his way to the safe corner, the harbor he's promised his family. Whatever the cost to himself.

It is July 2010.

The future is coming.

Open your eyes.

Assess Based On Books Sleepless

I did not think I was going to like this book. After reading the Joe Pitt series, I was interested in what Sleepless was going to be all about and I'd heard good things. The first couple of chapters, though, left me with a vague confusion and also a vague dislike for the main character, the unbendingly good cop trying to keep being good in a system that is obviously failing in the wake of what amounts to the coming of the apocalypse.All that, however, cleared up a couple more chapters in and I

The premise of this confusingly narrated novel is revealed on page 36:about a year ago, 10% of the population began experiencing a weirddisease that prevents them from sleeping, and within a year, leads todeath. It's now a widespread epidemic. Narcotics cop Park is part ofan undercover investigation to find a black market drug called Dr33m3rthat is a cure for the disease; heightening the stakes his wife andnewborn daughter both have the disease. The story is told from anomniscient POV, Park's

This is a fantastic book. Funny thing is, when I started this one last year after summer, I just could not get through the intro, this is a book which does not read easily (for me). It is also a book that needs your full attention, with all the happenings and details. Now, I had time and started again, knowing this had to be good. Well.. it is. Brilliant story, apocalyptic, but also, a story about love. It keeps you hanging on til the end and the story is so cleverly built, it is never boring

This should have been right up my alley. I really enjoy Huston's writing and story approach, and I have a fondness for end-of-the-world stories, but this was a resounding 'meh.' Usually, Huston is skilled at piquing my interest in characters lacking in likable traits or heroic qualities. I just could not develop any concern for the main character, Parker Hass (Parker. Totally generic name), who seems like a full-on Heroic-But-Loner-Boy-Scout, which you would think would be even more likable than

Charlie Huston has flexed his Crime Noir muscles and punches them into this gritty dystopic tale of a world with an epidemic of sleeplessness. Before you assume that sounds a bit lame, be aware that there is a real disease called Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) that is always fatal and very painful. Fortunately it is also very rare affecting about 100 individuals world-wide coming from a genetic pool of 40 families, most in Italy. However. Huston invents a fictional version of this disease that is

The addiction to Chasm Tide, the World of Warcraft-style game that flows through Sleepless, the arresting novel by Charlie Huston, scared me silly. Lately, Ive been more amenable to genre fiction, due in part to my habit of listening to books while a run (exciting is good, lead to new levels in Nike+), due in part to reviews from sources I trust.My rewards have been rich and creepy. First Paolo Bacigalupis steampunk epic The Windup Girl and now Sleepless.The value of virtual goods and characters
