Sixty years ago, merciless dreams of chaos and rage transformed Wesley Doddss existence into a restless double life, compelling him to fight in darkness as the Sandman against humanitys endless cruelties. Now, ten years after Wesley finally laid down his weapons of sleep, a new enemy is rising. And a new era of evil needs a new Sandman. Celebrated photojournalist Kieran Marshall has made a career capturing suffering and brutality on film. But he has always remained detached, a dispassionate observer or so he tells himself. In his latest war zone assignment, that illusion is about to be destroyed by a whirlwind of fire and pain. No longer the passive observer, Marshall finds himself at the heart of an apocalyptic struggle for the future of mankind one in which dreams themselves are the battlefield.
