Vanishing Protocol
She helped build the system that makes people disappear. Now she has to stop it before it erases everything.
Mara Sterling is a behavioral analyst for the Directorate - a classified government program that specializes in digital erasure. She has spent eight years profiling targets, running threat assessments, and trusting the Ghost Protocol to do the rest. She believed in the safeguards. She trusted the precision.
Until Owen Hale's desk goes empty on a Tuesday morning. Not empty - sanitized. And Mara has been in this business long enough to know exactly what that means.
Owen was just an analyst. No exposure. No enemies. No reason to vanish. But the Ghost Protocol doesn't leave traces. What it left behind was a cipher, hidden under a desk in the dark, addressed to whoever was paying close enough attention.
Mara was paying attention.
What she uncovers will pull her into the hidden architecture of the system she helped build - a system that has been quietly rewritten from the inside, its safeguards bypassed, its parameters expanded far beyond the original mandate. The Ghost Protocol is no longer a scalpel. It is counting down to something called the Genesis Wipe, and at current settings, seventeen million people are on the list.
Perfect for fans of Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Tom Clancy, The Vanishing Protocol is a fast-moving, tightly plotted techno-thriller about a woman who built the perfect machine for erasing people - and what she does when she refuses to let it keep running.
The friction is the work. The noise is the point.
A standalone techno-thriller.
