In deep space, a swarm of nanoparticles threatens the colonies, transforming everything it meets into computronium – including the colonists. The crew of the\u003ci\u003e White Raven\u003c\/i\u003e investigate, and discover an Axiom facility filled with aliens hibernating while their minds roam a vast virtual reality. Sebastien wakes up, claiming his altered brain architecture can help the crew deactivate the swarm – from inside the Axiom simulation. To protect humanity, Callie must trust him, but if Sebastien still plans to dominate the universe using Axiom tech, they could be in a whole lot of trouble…\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFile Under:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e Science Fiction\u003c\/b\u003e [ Nanowar  Let Sleeping Gods Lie  Upgraded  For the Colony ]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThe Dreaming Stars\u003c\/i\u003e is fast and tense, with excellent dialogue, funny banter (much of it either graveyard humour or concerned with how much Callie and Elena are into each other), and characters who feel like real people. It has the atmosphere of pulp space opera, and a gleeful approach to the big ideas (and the big furniture) of science fiction. I really enjoyed it, and I hope Pratt has the opportunity to write many more novels in this setting.”\u003cbr\u003e– \u003ci\u003eLocus Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The engaging, inclusive, and entertaining Axiom series, may be his best work yet… witty, heartfelt sci-fi romp.”\u003cbr\u003e– Tor.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The main reason I love this series is that it’s just so fun.
