Shadow Protocol: The Rogue Operative

Ethan Cross was never supposed to exist.
Officially, he died during a classified operation gone wrong.
Unofficially, he became a ghost — erased from every database, hunted by the very agency that created him.
When a classified defense algorithm capable of shutting down entire cities disappears from a black-site facility, global security collapses overnight. Nations prepare for retaliation. No one knows who took it. No one knows how deep the conspiracy goes.
With time running out and trust inside the agency shattered, intelligence director Mara Vance makes a dangerous choice: she reactivates the one asset the agency swore to eliminate.
Ethan Cross doesn’t work for the government anymore.
He works for the truth.
But in a world of shifting alliances and deadly secrets, uncovering the truth may cost him the last thing he has left — his freedom.
