Counterstrike: Heaven Sent The Long Book follows Kate from the cornfield in Kansas, where she meets a bloodied Agent Gareth, hints at the scummy office politics of the Denver FBI Office, continues with the perilous journey back to Washington DC, introduces Agent Gareth's both brilliant and eccentric tech team at the FBI's secret Section Six, and concludes with Kate's own bitter and nasty career drama in DC. The Long Book reveals a bit more of the dark, lonely, and troubled personal and romantic histories of Kate and Agent Gareth, as they grow closer, against the vile backdrop of Klaus Vogle's cold blooded terrorism and murder plots.
