The train was supposed to take them to safety. Then it stopped inside the mountain.
Six weeks after Mercy Springs, sleep technician Tess Marlowe knows what the Rested can do. They look human. They speak gently. And while you sleep, they take the memories that make you who you are.
Ten-year-old Caleb has resisted every attempt to take him. Now the military is prepared to risk his life to discover why. Determined to protect him, Tess escapes with Caleb aboard an overnight train out of Albuquerque.
But the friendly woman across the corridor already knows his real name.
Deep inside a mountain tunnel, the train shudders to a halt. The brake hoses have been cut. The radios are dead. Diesel exhaust thickens the air, and exhausted passengers begin closing their eyes.
The Rested are moving among them.
Trapped with federal agents ordered to return Caleb to custody, Tess must convince a train full of strangers to stay awake—and keep them from turning on one another. But the Rested are learning. Every test she uses to expose them teaches them how to hide.
They have all night.
Tess can barely keep her eyes open.
Sleeper is the second book in F.G. Harrow’s The Rested series—a claustrophobic horror thriller about the terror of surrendering to the one thing everyone needs.
