The Sleeper

Daniel Grey has spent his life in the shadows, hiding a secret even he doesn't fully understand-he ages at a fraction of the normal rate. At seventy-nine, he still looks like he's in his thirties. He doesn't know why. He only knows that if the wrong people find out, he's in danger.

In the 22nd century, that danger catches up to him. Ambushed and forced into stasis, he awakens three hundred years later aboard the Regulus, a cargo ship traveling through the Outer Colonial Territories. At first, he believes he's finally free-humanity has expanded across the solar system, offering plenty of places to disappear.

But the solar system isn't as big as he thought.

Daniel quickly realizes that someone is still hunting him. And he's not the only one keeping secrets. Some of the Regulus crew know more about him than they should-secrets that could change everything he thought he knew about himself.

Who put him in stasis? Who is still after him? And could he finally find others like himself?

A gripping sci-fi mystery filled with tension, discovery, and danger, The Sleeper is a story of survival, identity, and the search for truth in a vast and unforgiving universe.

I've been working on The Sleeper for many years. While I've lost time along the way, this past year has been my most productive, and the story is finally taking shape as a true novel. This is my third draft, and as a slow, detail-focused writer, I appreciate your patience. I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions-thanks for reading!
