From the Back Cover
"An enormously fresh spacetime horizon." -Alexander Eliot, author of The Universal Myths and The Global Myths.
"I enjoyed Dreamer greatly. The story has a haunting quality that kept me coming back for the next chapter and the next and the next. The atmosphere of the edge-of-the-visual field possibilities was well done." -Charles T. Tart, Professor Emeritus, Psychology, University of California, Davis.
Praise for The Atomic Express: "Exploding atomic bombs in the Nevada desert in the '50s must have been surreal, but imagine the personalities involved: eccentric scientists building bombs and theologies, ambitious military men building armies and careers, slick politicians, enlisted pawns. If that's not weird enough for you, sprinkle in flying Cadillac bombs, escalators to parallel universes, avenging angels, orgasmic blimp rides through hell, and train rides through the heavens. This work is cinematic in its sweep and nuclear grandeur, but it's also put together very much like a film, composed of hundreds of sharp, telling scenes. In the grand tradition of Pynchon and Heller, the book is an irreverent collage of absurdity and symbolism."-CROW Quarterly Review
Praise for Under the Cloud: "Under the Cloud is a chilling documentary history of America's above-ground nuclear tests conducted during the 1950's and early 1960's. Miller takes on the subject and universalizes it, at the same time giving it the flavor of a Dos Passos novel. Scary stuff."-Kirkus Review.

A Terrific Ride Down Memory Lane,
By inkmuser (Findlay, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dreamer (Paperback)
Who amoung us wouldn't relish the chance to revisit our past and repair a broken relationship or make a different choice at a critical point in life? Author Richard Miller gives the reader such a chance in his new novel, Dreamer. The reader travels with the main character back to his past through a clever set-up made realistic and believable by the author's careful use of technical terms and concepts -- not too techie for the average reader yet enough to make the story work well. Traveling into a time most readers will relate to, Miller carries a music element throughout, weaving in meaningful song lyrics and titles that let the reader revisit their own experiences back when those songs were popular. The book held my interest so well that I read this book in two sittings, losing a good amount of sleep in the process! After finishing the book, I found myself musing about my own life and what people and events I would revisit if given the chance to go back in time as the author gives the main character of Dreamer. I consider a book that leaves me thinking deeply as a worthy read as this book did, and recommend Dreamer to anyone as a thoroughly enjoyable read and a nice way to loosen some cobwebs in the reader's past.

Journey to the Past,
By Mary G. Constible (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dreamer (Paperback)
Many people are interested in doing past life regression in order to get a better handle on the events of this lifetime. This book, however, deals with a group of people who pay big money for high tech induction sessions that take them back in great detail to times in their own youth and childhood.Mike, the protagonist, begins these sessions with the aim of mining old memories for monetary gain. We join him in his journey to the past, and also in his present-time encounters with the mixed-up characters who run the facility and the lost souls who are fellow clients delving into their memories. Not an easy book to put down before the last page, Dreamer will take you through a range of emotions. It will make you think about your own past: your favorite possessions, long-lost friends, and best of all, the times when love took hold of your life and changed you forever.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Thoughtful trip back to the 60's,
This review is from: Dreamer (Paperback)
Dreamer took me back to the small midwest town where I grew up in
the 1960's. References to the popular music on radio stations we all listened to and that 64 Ford reminded me of my own teenage years and the boyfriends that I loved and lost. For everyone who has ever wanted to go back and change their past, this is an excellent read. I like Richard Miller's style and hope he writes another book soon!
