Thrive Rayas Dreaming, Thrive Colony Corps Adventures book 4.

Rayas offers a singular prize - the Dream.

Last-settled of the Diaspora colonies, Rayas was privately funded by California refugees in Mexico. They couldn’t bankroll the immense settler ships that bore a quarter million souls apiece. And the terraformers were long gone.

Instead they sent teens, trained en route using an AI, the Dream. This virtual reality teaches every science and technology, quickly.

Students also relive Earth history first-hand as a video game. In Renaissance Florence, beat the Black Death and study under Michelangelo. Sail the Caribbean smuggling drugs, or master the ninja arts in feudal Japan.

The Dreamers turned out a bit…squirrelly.

Ben Acosta hopes to train crews using the Dream, in a new Colony Corp Academy. He offers Sass Collier the opportunity to found the school. They visit Rayas to perform their due diligence.

Sass’s Lunar lover Gabe hosts as salesman in chief.

The project gives Ben a fresh chance to evaluate Sass’s judgment calls. Because if Luna taught them anything…

Rayans lie. What dark secrets lurk within the Dream?
