Of course, you’re not fool enough to assume that you will survive the process; a contingency that you’ve more than anticipated and worked around.
A complex series of couriers and dead drops will ensure that a comprehensive copy of your manuscript will be circulated to an appropriate party in the event of your untimely disappearance, murder, suicide, or institutionalization. A second set of middlemen will similarly distribute your cipher key.

It didn’t take long for you to sell your cloak and purchase a sword, but your weapon will accomplish little in the end.
