About this ebook
“Sleeping Bear is…one of those rare novels that keeps getting better and better and better. Remember the author’s name—Connor Sullivan.” —James Patterson
A former Army veteran seeking solitude in the Alaskan wilderness after her husband’s death finds herself a pawn in a deadly game with Russia in this white-knuckled and “heart-stopping thrill ride” (Chris Hauty, author of Deep State).
After her young husband’s untimely death, Army veteran Cassie Gale decides to take a few days of solitude in the Alaskan wilderness before she starts her new job. But when she fails to show up on her first day and her dog is discovered injured at her wrecked campsite, her father knows that this is much more than a camping trip gone awry.
As it turns out, Cassie’s not the first person to disappear without a trace in Alaska’s northern interior. Bears. Wolves. Avalanches. Frostbite. Starvation. There are many ways to die in here. But not all disappearances can be explained. Cassie’s is one of them, along with a number of other outdoor enthusiasts who have vanished in recent years.
Regaining consciousness in a Russian prison, Cassie finds herself trapped in a system designed to ensure that no one ever escapes alive. It will require all her grit and skills to survive. Meanwhile, her father rushes to outrun the clock, scouring thousands of acres, only to realize she’s been taken by a nefarious adversary—one with the power of the Eastern Bloc behind it. Ties to his past life, one full of secrets, threaten to surface. He knows there’s a price to be paid, but he’s determined it won’t be his daughter.
Timely, electrifying, and perfect for fans of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor, “Sleeping Bear clamps you in its jaws and doesn’t let go. A fierce, relentless beast of a novel” (Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author).

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Army veteran Cassie Gale decides to take a solo camping trip in the Alaskan wilderness on her way to a new job. Cassie fails to show up at her job and her campsite is found abandoned. Thousands of people go missing in the Alaskan wilderness but Cassie's disappearance is far from normal. Cassie wakes in a Russian prison and she knows it's going to take all of her courage and survival skills to survive. But Cassie has one thing that they weren't counting on. Cassie's father is not one to take her disappearance lightly. Jim Gale is going to do whatever it takes to find his daughter and he has some tricks up his own sleeve as well as a history that he thought was long since buried. You might say, he has a particular set of skills.Sleeping Bear by Connor Sullivan takes us from Montana to Canada, Alaska, and Russia delivering action-packed scenes at every stop along the way. Jim and Cassie Gale are characters you find easy to root for. The main villain, Russian Viktor Sokolov, is a menacing character in his own right and a worthy foe. Sullivan throws enough obstacles in the way of Jim and Cassie Gale to keep the excitement and tension level high throughout this fast-paced and well-plotted novel. Narrative which switches between Jim’s perspective and Cassie’s keeps you flipping the pages.Sullivan's debut novel delivers all the action a thriller fan could want including a finale that will have you jumping out of your seat. This is one of the best debut thriller novels I've ever read and Connor Sullivan is a name you're going to be hearing a lot more of in the future next to names like Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Gregg Hurwitz, and Matthew Betley. This is one of the most hyped books of the year and one that more than lived up to its billing.I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher.
