Investigative journalist Andrian Michaels has spent his career chasing secrets, but when an encrypted message arrives in the dead of night, he realizes he's stumbled upon something far more dangerous than he ever imagined. The file contains a classified military transmission from 1999-a chilling encounter deep in the Colombian jungle with an object that defied all known physics. It is not a plane.
Before Andrian can fully process the evidence, his system is hacked-someone is trying to erase the message before he can uncover the truth. He narrowly saves the file, but now he's a target. As he follows the trail from Washington, D.C., to the depths of South America, he discovers a tangled web of government cover-ups, silenced witnesses, and a decades-long conspiracy designed to keep the public in the dark.
His only ally? A brilliant but enigmatic scientist who may hold the missing piece of the puzzle-or be working against him. As danger closes in, Andrian must navigate deadly betrayals, unravel hidden agendas, and decide who he can truly trust.
With shadowy government agents in pursuit and the truth hanging in the balance, one thing is certain-whoever sent the message knew the risk. And now, so does he.
A high-octane thriller blending espionage, science fiction, and romance, The Deception Protocol is a must-read for fans of conspiracy thrillers and alien mysteries.
