Publisher's summary

Narvik, Norway
A remote NATO seismic array in the far north of Norway detects the largest nuclear detonation since the days of the Soviet Union.

Svalbard Archipelago, Norway
The largest icebreaker in the Norwegian Navy, and one of the most high tech vessels operating in the Arctic, disappears without trace.

Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia
In the chaos following the explosion, the lead scientist on a top secret Russian military research program goes missing with his daughter. There are rumors of sabotage.

The Kremlin, Moscow
A Russian asset, embedded deep within the CIA's London Station, sends a coded message.
"Your missing scientist has made contact. I can lead you right to him."

The Sleeper by Saul Herzog is the stunning fourth instalment in the series that has single-handedly taken the publishing industry, and Hollywood rights departments, by storm. This dazzling tour de force kicks off right where the previous book ended. From the mind of one of the most creative and versatile writers working in America today, this book will surely go down as a classic of the spy thriller genre.

If you listen to only one series this year, this is it. Action, adventure, rebellion, provocative foreign agents, characters you can sink your teeth into. If you're looking for a new spy thriller series that will stay with you long after you turn the last page, look no further.

Recommended for fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, and Brad Thor's Scot Harvath.

Characters keep you engaged

The plots are fun and interesting but the characters drive it for me. Writing is intellectually stimulating as well. Herzog is top tier in the genre.

Saul just keeps producing!

Another enjoyable book in the ongoing saga. I waited until the holidays for this book so I can sit back and enjoy it with some time off. The writer keeps finding interesting true events to build his stories from, and is a master at keeping you engaged in the books. This book introduced some new characters that much of the book was built around while keeping our favorites plenty engaged. I'm 4 books into this and still love them and the narrorator is perfect.
Great book, looking forward to book 5.
BTW, I have seen mostly positive reviews but there are a few Debbie Downers that I guess this isn't their thing or they are just critics in their minds (I know people like this) so I decided to step away for a while before this book and dive into some of the other good thrillers that are out there written by the very popular authors. After 3 John Grisham books, 1 Scott Turow and a Tom Clancy book which I enjoyed all of them but I'll put Saul on top as the book I'd grab. I don't know who he is but he is every bit as good a writer as these guys in my opinion. I'm not a huge critic and I do these books for enjoyment and I have enjoyed the book Saul has done immensely. I look forward to completing the eight books and I'm very curious on what he is working on currently.

Big fan of the series.

Action packed and relatable to today. Excellent character development and no Polly Anna sweet endings.
