Sleep Walking is Nicola Morgan's latest novel. This time she has used sci-fi to create her latest masterpiece, proving again her great versatility. In this book we find ourselves in a world that has been transformed into a far different world than which we know today. This is a world, which is completely controlled through one single building. The Citizens do not realise this as they are in there own world, where you cannot be made upset by such trivial things. However there is a small band of people who do realise how the world is run. They can also use their minds clearly so, therefore see that the world should be changed. But this is not made easy as the new cruel police force hunt out this band of people. And now that a new plague is killing off the group the fate of the world lies in three teenagers hands. Unlike most sci-fi books this one is down to earth, although the plot is typical of the genre. Morgan's style of writing causes the plot to be extremely believable. She also portrays the characters very well and really makes you care about them. Finally she also creates a sense of reality between reader and story. This book certainly lives up to the standards of "Mondays are Red" and "Flesh Market" if not exceeds them. I would certainly recommend this book to teenagers through to adults because it's a fantastic story and you will not be able to put it down. Buy it!
