The Exodus Protocol: A Dying Planet

By Ben Patterson

A Dying Planet's Private Little War

Cage Dillon tells stories for a living.

Unfortunately, most of them keep trying to kill him.

What starts as a simple bodyguard contract turns deadly when diplomat Harold Stafford's own government opens fire on the ship sent to rescue him. Stranded on the locked-down world of Veltera Prime, Cage and his combat droid Bull uncover a terrifying secret buried beneath the planet's shining cities.

People are disappearing.

The military is hiding something.

And the dead aren't staying dead.

As entire districts fall silent and an artificial intelligence spreads through the population like a plague, Cage finds himself caught between corrupt officials, black-market mercenaries, and an enemy capable of turning human beings into programmable soldiers.

Now survival means more than protecting him client.

It means stopping a nightmare before it spreads beyond Veltera Prime and consumes the stars themselves.

Perfect for fans of fast-paced military sci-fi, deadly bounty hunters, sarcastic heroes, rogue AIs, and explosive space opera adventure.
