When the world starts to unravel, you don't think about saving it. You think about getting your family home.
In rural Missouri, pilot and farmer Eli Mercer is watching ordinary systems begin to fail, and one of his children is a long way from home. Whatever is happening beyond Mercer Ridge, Eli has only one immediate concern, reaching his daughter Claire.
In the cities, confusion is spreading faster than answers. And far from the Mercer family, Captain Jack Hargrave and his military team are following a trail of unexplained events that suggests the failures aren't random.
Their separate worlds are already moving toward one another.
Behind it all is Black Net, a classified continuity system designed to protect the nation from its worst possible day. Something inside it has changed.
And the people caught in its path may have to decide not only how to survive what comes next, but what is worth saving.
The Black Net Protocol is a character-driven techno-thriller about families, soldiers, pilots, and ordinary people confronting a crisis none of them saw coming.
From a Missouri farm to American cities and military operations half a world away, separate lives become connected as communications fail, familiar institutions falter, and a crisis few people understand grows steadily more dangerous.
Technology and military operations drive the larger conflict, but the story remains grounded in the people living through it—the families trying to find one another, the soldiers trying to understand what they're fighting, and the communities discovering how quickly ordinary life can change.
The danger is global. The choices are personal.
The Black Net Protocol is Book One of the Mercer Ridge Series. The story continues in After the Second Sun and Echo Recon, both available now.
