The Vesk Protocol

In the aftermath of The Shadow Channel, CIA officer Mara Vale is pulled into a final, desperate operation when a series of coordinated leaks, cyber breaches, and forged-attribution attacks begin dismantling Western alliances from the inside. The evidence implicates everyone and no one. With her trusted partner Daniel Rook, the razor-sharp Claire Havel, the dangerously enigmatic Leila Nasser, and journalist Eli Mercer circling ever closer to the public truth, Mara must hunt down Anton Vesk before his Protocol turns democratic institutions into weapons against themselves.

Every alliance carries a price, every revelation draws blood, and the final truth may shatter the very world Mara has spent her life protecting.
