"Dream--a surreal realm where delusions roam free and nightmares hold court. A man called Rube is on a perilous quest, searching this unhinged land for something more precious than life or sanity--his own lost child. Captive on a black ship crewed by the dreaded Men of Leng, he finds himself crossing the Slumbering Sea in chains, brought face-to-face with a mischievous blue monster who might just be his salvation--or his doom. Struggling to reunite father and daughter, their odyssey past the edge of reality reveals ancient evils, fiendish plots, and a trans-planar scheme which threatens the very foundation of Dream."--Cover, p.
