The Seventh Sleeper - Paperback

by Rodman Philbrick (Author)

THEY WERE DAMNED TO A LIVING HELL-AND REBORN INTO A TERRIFYING NEW ORDER...

CITY OR THE DEAD

They are called "sleepers"-comatose "zombies" discovered in the slums of Miami. Their fingerprints obliterated, their ice-cold naked flesh impervious to pain, they stare wide-eyed in stark, silent terror-once-human prisoners trapped in limbo between life and death. And they guard a blood-chilling secret that will drag Dr. Sara Copley and Detective Lee Valdez through the mysterious Santeria underworld... and into a brilliant, twisted sociopath's isolated hell in the Florida Everglades. For there, inhuman experiments are underway that pervert every law of God and nature. And there, mankind's ultimate nightmare will become reality... once the seventh sleeper is awakened...
