Denver. April 2028.
The Foundation's campaign is almost finished. Two architects remain. Alex Popov downloads a file. The team has three months to close what took four decades to build.
Then Alex opens the folder he has been carrying for six weeks.
Fourteen pages. Addressed to him. Written in 2009 by his father — the same father he watched buried in a Denver cemetery in the fall of 2010 — and delivered eighteen years later by a woman he has never met. Three discrepancies from the case file the network gave him at twenty-five. One conclusion, arrived at by a GRU-trained analyst working alone.
Eva Richter — the woman who has been his handler for twenty-two years, his president for four, and something he has never allowed himself to name — killed Viktor Popov in a Georgetown guest bedroom on November 15, 2010.
And she did it to keep him alive.
What happens between them in a planning room after everyone else has gone home is the disclosure THE SLEEPER NETWORK has been holding since page one of Book One. What happens after it is what THE REVELATIONS is about.
A May morning when Katherine Adams-Richter, seventy-two years old, drives ninety minutes from Colorado Springs to a Denver apartment and sits across a table from the husband she buried in 1988. A June afternoon when Franz Richter meets Alina Zhukova for the first time in his life. A Denver kitchen where a former President of the United States and her half-sister settle two cups on the counter instead of one. And the room the four assets built together — and what remains in it when only two of them choose to stay.
Ten books. Forty-five years. One conversation.
Book Ten of THE SLEEPER NETWORK. The conclusion of the arc that opened in four cities in 1985 and closed in a Denver planning room in the spring of 2028.
