The Apex Protocol: An Ethan Calder Thriller
THE APEX PROTOCOLby Cole Harrison
Power isn’t elected. It’s engineered.
When a young Secret Service agent stumbles upon a covert meeting he was never meant to see, he uncovers a truth more dangerous than any foreign enemy. Behind the newly elected president stands the Apex Alliance—a shadowy cabal of ultra-wealthy elites who manipulate governments, markets, media, and belief itself to reshape the world in their image.
As policies shift overnight and chaos ripples through the economy, the agent begins connecting the dots. Faith-based institutions are quietly compromised. Universities are infiltrated. Truth is distorted, dissent erased, and democracy hollowed out from within. The deeper he digs, the clearer it the presidency is no longer in control.
Then he’s betrayed.
Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, hunted by the very system he swore to protect, the agent vanishes into the shadows—emerging as the most wanted man in America. On the run, he finds an underground resistance of former intelligence operatives, investigative journalists, and rogue hackers already fighting a digital war against the Apex Alliance. Together, they leak secrets, sabotage infrastructure, and expose the machinery of elite power.
But trust is a weapon—and someone inside the resistance is feeding information back to the enemy.
As assassination attempts, false narratives, and devastating betrayals close in, the agent must decide how much he’s willing to sacrifice to expose the truth. Because the man leading the Alliance believes order can only exist through absolute control—and he’s prepared to burn democracy to the ground to achieve it.
The final move will either shatter the illusion… or silence it forever.
The Apex Protocol is a high-octane political thriller about corruption, control, and the fragile line between order and freedom.
