Jonathan Chaulk’s only chance to save the life of the girl he loves is to let her die.

While still suffering the loss of his family from an avian flu pandemic, seventeen-year-old Jonathan Chaulk meets McKenna Dupree, the girl of his dreams.

Living in a remote cabin on Bear Claw Island, Jonathan’s sole neighbor is the mysterious Phoenix Institute. With the heart of an adventurer, Jonathan’s stealthy exploration of the Institute reveals dangerous and deadly secrets.

The murderous experiments of a madman, Dr. Sandor Serpa, not only jeopardize Jonathan’s life, but the life of the girl he loves.

Madman Dreams is a fast-paced suspense thriller that plunges the reader into a believable near-future where technology, the diabolical plans of Dr. Sandor Serpa and the Phoenix Society threatens to transform the world forever.

Keith A Ferstl's interactive murder mysteries, co-produced with writer Peggy Kehoe, amused, and entertained guests at the Gibson Inn in Apalachicola, Florida, and other cities for many years. One of his favorites was a science fiction-themed Halloween mystery, which paid homage to many of his favorite authors like Robert Heinlein, Stephen King, H.G. Wells, and Ray Bradbury. He and his wife live in Tampa. With ten grown children—his, hers, and theirs, plus a dog and cat, he still appears to be sane. But appearances can be deceiving. He loves fast-paced, character-driven stories. With his science fiction action adventure series, Madman Dreams, he looks forward to entertaining his readers in the same way he was entertained by reading Ender’s Game and Across the Universe.

Wha-why are there only 9 reviews of this book and how is it possible that a great story like this is available for only 99 cents? This is the second time I've read this and even though I know what's coming, I STILL have to stop a moment and go feed the cats or let the dogs out to deal with the suspense, LOL! Other reviewers have detailed the plot so I will write my review on my opinion of the author's writing skills. First, I read a LOT, and I tend to prefer stories where the characters are believable and at least somewhat similar to me, meaning, in another universe, it could be ME having the adventures :) Mr. Ferstl's characters are nicely fleshed out, believable, regular people, and yet s---t happens to them (!), and they have an exciting adventure with unpredictable twists and turns, fast paced suspense, and a believable plot. It seems to me that this author writes his characters so that people can relate to them and believe in them, like them or hate them, and want to read more about them. Jonathan and Mckenna, both young, who through a series of unfortunate incidents (pandemic), are alone in the world facing difficult challenges. Using their wits and skills, they navigate through an exciting maze of suspenseful, difficult, and painful twists and turns, as their regard for each other grows. This book would appeal to so many readers, both young and older, the sci-fi genre is not over done or unbelievable. The scary thing about this story is that for the most part, it would not be tooooo much of a stretch to believe that it could happen! This is Mr. Ferstl's first book, and it already very pleasantly achieves the main purpose of a great story- for readers to get lost in it, to go to another place or time. I hope to see many many more books by this author!! And, no, I was not paid by anyone to write this review and I paid for the Kindle versions myself. I am just a reader who luckily happened upon this author's books while looking for kindle e-books.

Ferstl is an exciting, reader-friendly writer. When the action was pumping in Book One, I couldn't put the book down - no matter how late the hour. I had to wait for things to slow down a little, then turn the light off and get some sleep, and get another shot of Madman the next night. Reminiscent of Ludlum, he has a gentle way of reviewing the action frequently to help the reader keep up with all the characters. Madman One will make a hellacious graphic novel or movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute page turner

From page one, you know it's going to be exciting. You immediately get a sense of the main character and the book. The attention to detail the writer gives you makes it very easy to understand the futuristic aspects and keeps it different from other sci-fi novels. It has the romantic twist also but doesn't over do it. It just keeps you cheering it on. And I also enjoy a book that keeps me guessing. One minute you think something is going to happen, and then out of nowhere, something completely different is thrown at you. It's also great that it goes back and recounts events to keep you up to speed with everything that's going on. I'm sure I will have quite a few more late nights with the next book just like I had with this one because I just couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this book to young adults but I don't see why anyone wouldn't be able to enjoy this read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Different
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2013
Reanimated is book one in the Madman Dreams series by Keith A. Ferstl. This was definitely an original story, and not at all what I expected. The beginning was slow for me. I had a hard time staying focused, but once the action started, it didn't stop. To say the second half was fast paced would be an understatement. Things just kept happening and before I knew it I had finished the book. The main character it endearing and really grows as a character as the story progresses. He starts off as a this loner boy who's had a rough, sad life and he matures into this strong, brave man. I really liked him. McKenna takes a little getting used to. She's a spunky girl who grows on you. She keeps drawing the short straw in this story, the poor thing. This was a clever little story, and once it got going, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.

Madman Dreams (Book One: Reanimated) by Keith A. Ferstl was provided to me by the author for review. The opinions are my own.

I can hardly ever say that a young adult book can captivate me so much that I can't put it down. Madman Dreams is the perfect blend of action and science fiction. Ferstl writes with consideration towards the intended audience without condescending. The necessary elements of teen agnst, budding romance, and journey into independence are written with flair in this page turner. The only thing I can recommend after reading this is to dive right into the next one!
