When the Sleeper Wakes: A gripping dystopian thriller of a man who slept for centuries to wake as the ruler of a terrifying new world.

What if the cure for your deepest torment thrust you into an unimaginable nightmare?

Driven to the brink of madness by six agonizing days of insomnia, an overworked nineteenth-century artist stumbles into a secluded cave and finally slips into a profound, cataleptic trance. When Graham's eyes flutter open, the rolling cliffs of Cornwall are gone. He has awakened two hundred and three years later.

In Cathleen King's visionary masterwork, When the Sleeper Wakes, we are thrust into a dazzling yet terrifying twenty-second-century London. Humanity is confined within Titanic, glass-roofed mega-structures. Ceaseless 'moving ways' churn with millions of blue-clad laborers. The skies are choked by massive wind-wheels, and a ruthless oligarchy known as the Council holds civilization in an iron grip. But due to compound interest over two centuries, Graham is now the wealthiest man on Earth—the legendary Sleeper—and the rightful owner of the entire world.

Hunted down by the ruling Council who wishes to eliminate him, and championed by a rebel faction crying his name, Graham must navigate a deadly maze of towering cityscapes, lethal technological marvels, and explosive political uprisings. Will he become the puppet of a new tyranny, or the spark that sets a dystopian society ablaze?

Gripping, atmospheric, and terrifyingly prophetic, this action-packed adventure demands to be heard.
