Book Description: Teenager Tom Lovett suffers from a rare form of narcolepsy that can knock him out for days at a time. At least, this is what his parents and doctors have always told him. But Tom’s about to make a shocking discovery: He’s actually a sleeper assassin. His narcoleptic "fits" are cover for his horrific missions. In fact, his entire life has been a lie. The truth is, Tom shares a body with Tyler Garrett, a separate personality who has committed coldblooded murder without a second thought. Now, Tom is on a mission to take down the evil agency that created him. But can he also fight the evil within himself? In the tradition of The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy,Sleeper Code and Sleeper Agenda are a two-part white-knuckle thrill ride that will keep readers riveted to the very last page.
Courtesy of Teens Read Too Picking up almost immediately after where Sleeper Code ended...
Tom Lovett is locked in a battle. A battle with himself. Or, more accurately, a battle with Tyler Garrett, the second, deadly personality that The Janus Project created to exist in Tom when he "sleeps." The winner gets to live. The loser ceases to exist.
When Tom has a narcoleptic attack, Tyler Garrett takes over. That's how it's supposed to work, anyway. But now that Tom knows about Tyler, the barrier between the two is braking down. Tom and Tyler's memories are beginning to blend, as are their personalities. Tom has flashes of memories of death and destruction, and Tyler experiences moments of doubt and guilt.
With Tom's psyche weakened by experiments, all it takes is a whisper from the woman who masqueraded as Tom's mom and Tyler Garrett is back. Literally hanging on for his life.
Tyler escapes the Pandora facility to fulfill a mission. He's stuck with Madison, who believes he's Tom, and whom he can't seem to manage to kill or discard. All the while, Tom is locked in a mental prison, fighting for his life, and Madison's, and possibly the continued existence of the world, to escape.
Personal demons are truly life-like in this story of danger and strength. Who do you trust when you can't even be sure you can trust yourself?
As action-packed and fast moving as the first book. Tom Sniegoski doesn't miss a step in the continuation of the story. It goes deeper and gets darker then could be imagined. So well-written that I even almost felt bad for the villain. But it all comes down to choices, in the end. Reading this book is a good one.
