Publisher's summary

Hologram Fun World. It's a theme park visited by families from all across the galaxy. It's a place where Tash and Zak can safely hang out while Hoole continues his work.

It's a place where daytime fun turns into nighttime terror.

One of the park's attractions is called the Nightmare Machine. It scans your brain, then shows you your worst fears in holographic form. Hairy, creepy-crawly insects. Cyborrean battle dogs thirsting for blood.

But it's not real, so it's fun—right?

Wrong.

As Zak and Tash will soon find out, nightmares can come true.

Plot summary

What was to be a vacation on the carnival space station of Hologram Fun World turns to horror as Tash and Zak Arranda are subjected to the Nightmare Machine, the latest stage in evil scientist Borborygmus Gog's nefarious Project Starscream. The machine incorporates a telepathic mutant creature that can read a subject's mind and uses advanced holography to create convincing terrifying images. With the help of Lando Calrissian, the Arrandas escape this trap.
