Spotlight: Dream State by Martin Ott

Picture a paradise island off the coast of Belize with one village, one tourist resort and a US Navy SEALS base. All are home to a cast of fascinating, colourful characters – some with dark secrets. Add a boisterous Hollywood wedding party arriving at the resort and niggling tensions start to erupt. But worse is soon to come. That night an unknown projectile hits the moon, knocking it off its orbit and disrupting the normal ebb and flow of the tides. The whole world is plunged into chaos as perpetual insomnia takes hold, and here on Copeland Caye the effect is devastating. Join three of the island’s relative newcomers in their struggle for survival as lack of sleep throws inhibitions to the wind and each new day sees the body count mount.
