The Gods of Sleep - Paperback

"WHAT WE DELIVER IS DEATH BY NATURAL CAUSES..."

A murder-for-hire syndicate rises from the ashes of a scandal-ridden university dream research project. By seizing control of the victim's autonomic nervous system during a dream, a company called Morpheus Research executes high profile assassinations-with a twist. They always appear as death by natural causes. No bullet holes, no stab wounds, no poison.

Sean Hastings is a forty-year-old New York stock broker whose life has become a sad cocktail of insomnia, boredom, and loneliness. While seeking help from a sleep clinic, he runs into an old colleague. He offers Sean a unique solution: an Amazonian psychotropic compound that's guaranteed to help him sleep. It does far more than that.

The chance encounter puts him on a collision course with Morpheus and their powerful global clients. Tangled in a web of shamans, quantum physicists, and foreign intelligence agencies, Sean joins a concerned group of former researchers racing to prevent the assassination of a world leader. To succeed Sean will need to shed his self-imposed doubts and limitations. But for now, he just needs to stay alive.

In The Gods of Sleep, a profound metaphysical discovery is threatened by those only interested in greed, power, and murder. In his debut novel, Robert Mix takes readers on a rollercoaster ride that challenges us to accept that there is more to this world than we can see.
