PROTOCOL ERASER The explosive sequel to the bestseller Sentinel’s Gambit
Project Sentinel was supposed to be a test. Instead, it was the beginning of the end.
Six weeks after watching the President’s Chief of Staff die on the Oval Office floor, former Secret Service Agent Marcus Riles is a man buried by the state. Locked in a secure debriefing facility, he is forced to parrot the official the blackout that crippled the West Coast was a tragic technical failure.
But Riles knows the truth. And he still hears the click—the sound of a dead comms channel. The sound of betrayal.
While Washington works to scrub the past, investigative journalist Sarah Jenkins uncovers a terrifying future. Following a trail of dark money left behind by Arthur Thorne, Sarah discovers the Eraser Protocol: a mercenary team armed with military-grade thermite, moving toward America’s critical infrastructure.
Their goal isn't just to turn off the lights. It is a "decapitation strike": rupturing the Hoover Dam and permanently severing the water and power supply to the American Southwest.
Branded a domestic terrorist and on the run, Riles must forge an uneasy alliance with Sarah and a shadow from the past—the elusive digital informant known as Cassandra. But in a world where every server is compromised and every ally is a potential enemy, Riles realizes the dam is just a distraction. The true architect of the chaos isn't trying to destroy the system.
He is trying to reset it.
From the dark tunnels of the Hoover Dam to the hardened servers of Cheyenne Mountain, Protocol Eraser is a pulse-pounding race against time where the only way to survive is to become a ghost.
Praise for the Marcus Riles "A high-velocity thriller that reads like a blockbuster movie." "Riles is the imperfect hero we need right now."
