The De-Extinction Protocol: Book One – Project Dire

by Free D Freeman

What if humanity brought back the wrong species? What if the cure we created... was carrying the apocalypse? In the frozen silence of Siberia’s tundra, the first woolly mammoth is resurrected. It’s a scientific triumph. A climate salvation. A miracle. And just the beginning. Fueled by AI precision and ecological desperation, the De-Extinction Program accelerates—reviving species long thought lost. At the top of the Canis dirus. The dire wolf. Engineered to be smarter. Stronger. Unstoppable. But when the wolves vanish during a storm, it triggers more than a search. It unearths something ancient locked beneath the permafrost—something older than extinction itself. As a silent plague spreads across remote stations, research outposts, and soon, human settlements, one terrifying truth The wolves didn’t escape. They evolved. And they brought something with them. Tense, atmospheric, and disturbingly plausible, The De-Extinction Protocol is the first book in a gripping sci-fi thriller series about ambition, consequence, and the primal intelligence buried beneath our world. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Emily St. John Mandel, and Jeff VanderMeer.
