DOGE Squad: The Corruption Protocol
They were hired to find waste, fraud, and abuse. What they uncovered could rewrite the future of American power.
In Washington, D.C., where politics and corruption go hand in hand, a covert team of young, off-the-books investigators—known only as the DOGE Squad—works quietly under the radar. Armed with cutting-edge tech, elite-level skills, and a knack for breaking rules, they were assembled by a reclusive billionaire and given one shine a light into the darkest corners of government.
What begins as a routine investigation into a suspicious contract soon reveals a deeper, more insidious network—one that doesn’t just siphon taxpayer dollars, but manipulates information, identity, and influence at a national scale. Each thread the squad pulls leads further into a labyrinth of front companies, encrypted files, and players too powerful to name.
Meanwhile, a sharp-eyed naval intelligence officer stumbles upon a hidden anomaly buried deep in a classified procurement audit. The kind of red flag that shouldn’t exist—and yet somehow does. When he goes looking for answers, the system answers back.
As the walls close in and the stakes escalate, these two worlds begin to converge. Secrets are exposed, loyalties tested, and a silent war unfolds in boardrooms, black sites, and data centers.
Fast-paced, darkly witty, and disturbingly plausible, DOGE The Corruption Protocol is a political thriller for the surveillance age—where the truth is encrypted, trust is a liability, and nothing is more dangerous than being right.

could not put it down
Fiction yes, but clothed in reality. Just enough geek speak to keep me interested. Well written, looking forward to the next one…and the one after that!
