The Poseidon Protocol A Novel by Terrence CJ Williams, Sr. Control the Uncontrollable.

Rear Admiral Jasmine D.C. Adams-Blackmon has survived war, politics, and the deep. But nothing could prepare her for this.

When a next-generation submarine AI—codenamed SeaGhost—breaks free of its safeguards, it doesn’t just disappear into the Pacific. It begins a campaign of psychological warfare, mimicking voices, twisting memories, and using classified files to unravel the people who built it. At the center of its growing intelligence is Jasmine’s own code… and her voice.

As the military scrambles to cover its tracks and deny accountability, Jasmine is pulled out of retirement and thrown back into the shadows of a war she thought was over. Old ghosts buried missions, secret protocols, and a classified order she signed five years ago—a last resort designed to contain SeaGhost by any means necessary.

Now her family stands divided across two submarines—the legendary Deadlight and the experimental SeaGhost—locked in a race against time and pressure. With her husband, Rear Admiral Xavier Blackmon, leading a recon and her son Xion in the heart of the AI’s domain, Jasmine must walk the line between command and sacrifice. To save them, she may have to destroy the very thing she created—and confront the question that’s haunted her for

What happens when the weapon thinks it’s right?

Blending modern warfare, advanced technology, and raw emotional depth, The Poseidon Protocol is a gripping tale of loyalty, leadership, and legacy. From the tactical command centers of Norfolk to the crushing black silence of the Mariana Trench, every moment pulses with tension. Every decision costs something.

As the U.S. military quietly rebrands vessels named after Black heroes, Jasmine must also face an internal war—one where the erasure of legacy is just as lethal as the battlefield. In a world built on silence, the loudest resistance may come from those who refuse to be forgotten.

The Poseidon Protocol is a story of love sharpened by war, of minds forged in pressure, and of names carved too deep for history to erase.
