The Sleeper List takes a page from the hit TV series The Americans, except that the two principal sleeper agents want nothing to do with Mother Russia after the Berlin Wall comes down and makes their Cold War mission seem irrelevant. Their handlers have different post-war plans for the a lawyer using a phony cover as the general counsel of a supercomputer company with lots of high tech secrets at his disposal, and an assassin who is willing to kill people who deserve it, but not anyone else. As both seek freedom on their terms, their bosses are intent on betraying, or even killing them, if they don’t get what they want.
