The crew of the White Raven returns to save the galaxy, in this brilliant space opera sequel to The Wrong Stars

Ancient aliens, the Axiom, will kill us all – when they wake up.

The crew of the White Raven investigate, and discover an Axiom facility filled with aliens hibernating while their minds roam a vast virtual reality.

Praise for The Dreaming Stars

"Fun, funny, pacy, thought-provoking and very clever space opera - a breath of fresh air."
- Sean Williams, author of Twinmaker

"Through his wit, dialogue, and vast, diverse world, Tim Pratt has created a space opera for today-one filled with diverse characters and cultures that feel nuanced enough to be real-while still delivering the sense of wonder that made you love the genre in the first place. It yanks readers through the wormhole and refuses to let them go. When's the sequel out?"
- Sam Reader, for Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

"Brilliantly fun space opera that reminds me of Killjoys but with more Weird Alien Cool Shit."
- Liz Bourke for Locus

"A really good read that was intelligently written and skilfully put together."
- Two Bald Mages

"Expansive world building, great movement coupled with interesting characterization and a story line that is not only intriguing but brings back the grande space fairing odyssey."
- Koeur's Book Reviews

"The Wrong Stars by Tim Pratt is everything a Science Fiction novel should be."
- Tay's Infinite Thoughts
