People, you know how it is when you pick up a book, and it's a meh, or even an ew? Well, I am one of those poor bastards to whom that happens. A LOT!
But, oh, when that rarest of gems, the enthralling, no-bullshit story makes its rare appearance and sucks you whole? Oh, yes! That is what I live for, people: a good science fiction book.
Solid, no-bullshit science fiction is all about the playful engagement of the intellect; that mix of escapism and raw realism; that exploration of the human soul under the duress of the most tantalizing of realities. Oh, no other genre comes even close, people. Yeah, I know how arrogant it sounds. Sorry. Doesn’t make it any less true.
But hey, this is the page where I get to tell you about my not-so-humble self, and if there is one thing, only one, that I want my readers to know is that I do love science fiction. Always have. A true nerd, since way before it was cool (yeah, I’m that old). And my promise to you is that I make the books that I want to read. Nothing less.
If you insist on knowing more, all right. Hmm, let’s see. Born in Spain, I’m currently settled in Amsterdam with my wife and young son. Law and economics academic background. Software engineering career. A few start-up failures. Gamer when time allows. And a passion for science since… well, forever!

Ummmmm No.

Isaac has created a completely new future that is different and quite plausible, then filled it with engaging characters. Can’t wait for book two!
April 14, 2021
I read this book in a single sitting, you will enjoy it if you are a regular reader of scify and are open to explore something a bit different, leaning on the fantasy side. The book is a flashback of past events when humanity was in the brink of extinction. Short of giving spoilers, one key element to survive was the development (or discovery) of a way to enter and share dreams between people. The story focuses on the past timeline and gives little details about the current state of affairs in the present, I hope the next books elaborate on that. In summary, I found the book imaginative and easy to read, I highly recommend it.

Enjoyed the book. I've read quite some post-apocalyptic books and loved them all. The Advent of Dreamtech has a unique approach to the way of communications and study of the human history. The story is told fluently and intensifies the events until the last page. Can't wait to be able to see how and where the story goes. Another book I would keep on my bookshelf with real pleasure. I'm sure I will re-read it in few months like I do with books that give me pleasure and they trigger new views and dreams while reading them.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I found it was something different, rather than the typical Sci-Fi. The writing is easy to follow and keeps you engaged throughout. New concepts, intriguing story. I recommend reading, especially if you are looking for something a little different.

December 14, 2021“They covered it up, they buried it. History repeating itself, just like the first collapse. Worse. Yes, the professor is telling the truth, she knows, and yet she feels attacked inside – in her identity – by his words.” – Dreamworms
“Dreamworms: The Advent of Dreamtech: A Post-Apocalyptic First Contact Epic” is the first episode in the Dreamworms Trilogy by Isaac Petrov.
Ximena, a history student in the distant future of 2515, is looking forward to attending a lecture by her role model, Dr. Miyagi, a rock-star history professor and producer of documentaries that are completely psychically immersive. But this lecture series, attended in a sort of alternate-reality dreamscape, is not going to go as Ximena planned.
Edda, a young woman in the post-pandemic agrarian society of 2399, is looking for a way to save her father’s life. He’s not sick, but he’s going to die, and everyone knows it. All her plans for changing her world as the new century turns are not going to happen the way she thought they would.
Told in episodic chapters, this story is a frame-tale reminiscent of the movie Inception mixed with a tad of Logan’s Run, and all wrapped up in a college lecture series. Does it sound bizarre? It is, but, wow! It definitely keeps you reading! I could not put it down. Edda’s story is an action movie on the page. One minute she’s sneaking into a dark morgue, and then, a few pages later, something is blowing up or burning down. This dramatic story of a one-girl revolution against her society’s entire belief system is contrasted with Ximena’s calm, studious interest in her world-famous teacher’s history lecture. But slowly, inexorably the whole dynamic between these two intertwining stories begins to shift.
This novel twists reality. It is told in dreams within dreams within dreams. Characters are psychically linked to characters. Beliefs are called into question. Censorship rears its ugly head. And we are asked to consider: What is the truth? Is history fact? Who controls what we are taught? And how do we distinguish truth from falsehood?
I can’t say more without spilling the beans on the story. But I will leave you with one more hint: aliens. In a world where “fake news” has become a buzzword and the “reality” of an event is widely different dependent on the source, Petrov brings us a highly relevant story to consider. I look forward to the next episode.

A fun and engaging story in an interesting world. It's different and unexpected (in a good way!)
November 1, 2021
This was awesome. I didn’t want this book to end. It’s creative with great characters, humor, depth, and a unique way of showing perspective. The only negative for me was that it ended and I don’t have the next book to start right away.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started reading Dreamworms. I’ve read other books by Isaac Petrov but felt this might be too outside of my comfort zone. However, I decided to take a chance and I’m really glad I did.
This is the first book I can think of that I’ve read where dreams were the focus. Sure other stories and authors have used dreams, but written a whole book that was in a dream? Interesting? Maybe 🤔 Intriguing? Yes. Should you read it? My recommendation is “Yes!”. Take a chance.
Isaac Petrov is a really good author and is able to craft a world that sucks you in and won’t let you go. Not that I want it to let me go. In fact, this is one of those books that I found myself picking up and reading every chance I got...even if it was only a 10 minute break between meetings.
So, yes! Buy the book. Read the book. Enjoy the book. Thank me later. 😉

I won a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway. This was not my cup of tea. It’s a masshup of Dystopian/First Contact themes that draws from many movie & tv ideas Like Logan’s Run, Inception, the holodeck from Star Trek TNG.
It took me 2 months to read, I read chapters between my usual books but could not get into it. The characters were very vanilla and and largely unlikable, the dialogue was sophomoric with the mc uttering “whoa” on almost every page. There’s way too much techno jargon/word substitutions that had me groaning and rolling my eyes. For some reason there are Neanderthals in this future but it’s never explained
The book ends on a sort of cliffhanger and sets up for the next volume. Maybe this is aimed more at a YA audience, but I felt like I could dnf it several times but wanted to get a review out cause I was glad of winning the giveaway.

July 1, 2021The use of dream layers in the storytelling would be fraught with literary danger for a lesser writer, but Petrov does a masterful job of juggling all of them so that the reader is never confused about what is happening where or when. This is in itself impressive, but the author goes on to achieve even more: a richly imagined world with fascinating, unique family and societal structures, as well as new types of political and religious systems.
DREAMWORMS is well worth a read for any science fiction fan looking for a new series to embark on.

SCI-FI at its best, honestly. Couldn’t stop reading until the last page. Frustrating that I have to wait for the next book.
June 12, 2021
I found this book very interesting and engaging, and the concept of dreams and being able to share them and influence people through them was one that I haven't encountered before (in book form; I have watched Inception quite a few times).
I liked most of the characters, even when their youth and/or naivete annoyed me, and I'm quite looking forward to the next installment of this series.

Not one, but two nested future histories, sexy, smart Neanderthals, lovable protagonists and a plot that grips you from the start! Oh and aliens! Supercool aliens with ambivalent motives! This is a great read, which ends way too soon, with so much more to be unpacked. Come on Isaac…..finish the next one!
May 29, 2021
This was definitely something different. Some tropes still slither through but that can't be helped. It's a very interesting story in a very enthralling and original setting. Absolutely recommend it, you will be delighted.

It is hard to put down.

I have just finished the book and it was just awesome!
SPOILERS!
I like the writing style, it feels very professional for a first book. Very readable. I've read the entire book in 3 days.
I appreciate that author kept the promise of "no bullshit SF" as there is hardly a silent spot in the story. Great work. I must say that I'm kind annoyed with how full of "fluff" most scifis are. Instead of exploring interesting worlds, characters and ideas they just wallow in mundane stuff.
I really liked the characters and I think that the split of the two main characters - Ximena and Edda - which we perceive both as a first person perspective at once is almost a revolution in storytelling. Ryu and Miyagi are both great "mentor" character and even the "bad" guys Marjolein and Yog have very reasonable positions.
I loved the entirety of DreamTech and the dream aliens, such a fresh air in a genre. So unexplored. I have so many questions. All the overlaps into mechanics of conscious/subconscious were interesting as well as exploration into mechanics of tyranny, extinctions, ecological catastrophe and religion.
I also really enjoyed when Edda killed one limb of Yog =) and the small pop-culture references and the mention of Moravia, since that's where I'm from... And the subtle threat of asteroid, largely ignored by the people in the world =) and of course the finale was just explosive.

A very impressive debut with very original themes and moments of refreshing brilliance. One of these moments being the beginning of the book with its psychological insight into a historical event whose numbers, much like the battle of the thermopylae, don't make a lot of sense. The constant use of historical themes but without indulging in alt-history is perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this book. Reminds me of the best Heinlein. It also has moments with very interesting use of language.
November 22, 2021
Finally a great SF story again. Very well written, a very original take at how to tell a story, and how well the story is told! No spoilers here, but this is in my opinion an instant classic for fans of serious SF.
January 27, 2022
received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.
unfortunely not for me. liked the idea of the story but I found the writing too 'loud' for me to be able to focus so I wasn't able to read it in it's entireity but if you love sci fi I'm sure you will get on with it better than I did!

An interesting future history
This is a new take on alien interference with the development of the human race. Who would have dreamed . . . . . . .

I am a big science fiction reader
and I am also a Carlos Castaneda and Stephen Laberge fan
This book by Isaak Petrov is almost no fantasy, but reality, considering the period we are living in.
It IS fantasy but is grounded a lot in the factual science of lucid dreaming.
It is absolutely well readable (I read it in a no-stop go - and English is not my mother langue).
I warmly suggest it both to beginners and old addicts of fantasy and SF.
Have fun

Quite unique and compelling
I enjoyed this book tremendously. It’s about as creative as you can get without disconnecting from humanity. I recommend it!
Why a star off? There were so many names and unusual relationships that I could not follow at times. And the book ended abruptly. It was frustrating. I like to feel interested in what happens next in a series but with a sense that this book could also stand alone.

I received a review copy of this book, and I’m so glad I did. No, it is not a quick read, but don’t turn away. The author weaves a complex fabric made up of the past, the present, and the future filled with nuggets of recognizable history and human thought. Fresh and gritty at the same time. As he says, “Reality is built on top of dreams…”
August 8, 2021
An enjoyable read, I like it when scifi takes on topics I've not seen before. A world where religious propoganda rules and people are sent to their deaths at the age of 27 to make sure that when they turn 28 they are not magically and suddenly inficted with a virus called Dem (the symptoms of which sound like dementia). A woman that wants to challenge the status quo, and the aliens want to help her. I look forward to the next instalment which is still being written.
November 6, 2021
For me, this book was a radical departure from the type of sci-fi that I usually read (namely just about everything) and I had some trouble in coming to terms with it, based on the several layers within layers that comprise this book. Post-apocalyptic "Y", alien first contact "Y", high-tech gear "Y", radical lifestyle changes "Y", possible extinction event "Y" but does it all hang together? For me "N". I appreciate the author's skill in binding all these disparate elements together but to me it still felt very disjointed. No real explanation of how this world-state had come to be, other than a few hints of past catastrophic events, and no real explanation of how or why such an artificially short lifespan had been settled upon, left me struggling to understand the context of this world. Finally, the abrupt ending to the book left me somewhat unsettled, as I had many unanswered questions in my mind that I wasn't able to satisfy. Hopefully, should I choose to read the rest of the series, all will be revealed and answers will be found.

A truly original idea
I wasn't sure if I would like this book but it hooked me incredibly quickly. The concepts are as original as I have ever come across and while I'm not sure if I would call this book a masterpiece, I'm also not sure that I wouldn't. I am just about to rush of and buy the next book in the series sick should tell you how good it is. Well done, Isaac Petrov. Well done indeed.

It's kind of a mixed review.
The story is on two levels: a history seminar taking place in 2515 and the events taking place in 2399 which comprise the history being examined.
The participants of the seminar are actually in a shared sleep state where time passes more quickly.
I enjoyed the 2399 story about Edda but found the 2515 story a bit unnecessary. Possibly the next book might be more 2515 oriented.
Worth reading anyway.

Episode I
12/20/2515, Ximena Epullan (Hansasian, 27, Townsend U PhD; history Global Program student) watches as Atahualpa leads his 80,000 armored warriors into his Empire.
Her Grandfather Enrique wanted to know what she was watching.
Atahualpa & Pizarro in Cajamarca.
University of Townsend. History Dept. Goah’s Imperia of the Americas. Elder Ankhesenneferibre “Ank” Ankhesenaten greets Ximena because she is late.
Amphitheater. Professor Kenji Miyagi begins her seminar on Fahey’s Legacy.
Since the Dreamwars, the GIA & Hansasia have been rival regimes.
Goah’s Imperia of the Americas is the largest in population & inhabits North/South American continents.
22nd-Century, The Dem-Pandemic was talked about next.
Dementia Furiosa has always been killing people, even before the 1st collapse.
Lifespans went from 60-yrs. in 2100 to 45-yrs. in 2120.
Next, Three Trials of Worth and Soul.
Ank, Edda (African), Mark (Neanderthal Abraham Lincoln), Cody O’Higgin, Willem, Qiao, Rutger, Gotthard, & Ximena join in the class Q&A discussion.
Episode II
12/21/2399 (26th-Century), U Lunteren-Deviss. Follow along as Dr./Professor Miyagi uses dream sensorial technology to make his students aware of their future.
I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.
An awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very professionally written Post-Apocalyptic book. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a huge description list of unique characters, settings, facts etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great Post-Apocalyptic movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini-TV series. It wasn’t as exciting as I hoped so I will only rate it at 3/5 stars.

An awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very professionally written Post-Apocalyptic book. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a huge description list of unique characters, settings, facts etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great Post-Apocalyptic movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini-TV series. It wasn’t as exciting as I hoped so I will only rate it at 3/5 stars.

The Advent of Dreamtech is the first book of the Dreamworms Trilogy by Isaac Petrov, and it serves as a solid introduction for Earth in the year 2515. The protagonist of the story is Ximena, a young historian who is attending the lectures of the renowned Professor Miyagi. The studies center around humanity and its status in the year 2399, when the planet was gripped by a disease similar to our dementia but seemed to attack younger and younger individuals until society decided to begin culling humans at age 27 to avoid the disease’s spread. A young woman named Edda sought to effect change, but she needed help from an unlikely source.
This original story establishes a world and series of events that are easy to follow and quite entertaining. There are several areas of conflict to build on, giving readers multiple storylines to follow and the author to build on. One of the secondary conflicts is between the two schools of historians. The opposing views will give readers plenty to think about and draw them further into this intense world that Petrov has created. Another secondary plotline is the intriguing story of Miyagi’s interest in the character Ximena.
The main storyline and source of drama and tension follow Edda, the heroine of 2399, and her efforts to overthrow the system that kills everyone to avoid the disease. Not satisfied with the prospect of killing off all life once they reach twenty-seven. Edda questions why things are still being done the way they are and if it is still in Earth’s best interest.
This novel really excels in how the historical story of Earth is told, allowing viewers to see and feel what the historical figures are doing and feeling. In addition, they use dream technology that enables them to cover much more time than it would typically take, and they can even see the dreams of their subjects!
The Advent of Dreamtech: A Post-Apocalytic First Contact Epic (The DREAMWORMS Trilogy Book 1) is a riveting science fiction novel with mystery and suspense. Readers of sci-fi, fantasy, and apocalyptical fiction will find this thrilling novel a great read.
