Super Moon Protocol
Fifty years ago a vicious animal attack sparked by the lunar calendar destroyed a small farming family north of Dallas, Texas. No one knew the impact that night would have on the world's future. Today that same lunar event will occur again. The question is, will the same vicious event reoccur? If it does, will it be isolated like before or on a global scale? Against the clock, Rob and Mel Florchett must solve the mystery behind the attack in 1970 and put the pieces of their family back together. Along the way they befriend locally renowned psychologist, Dr. Maria Sheltie. Through their combined research and bravery they outwit the CIA and survive the brutality of a Mexican cartel boss. But will family, friendship and pure luck be enough to prevent the world as we know it from an all out animal apocalypse? Conspiracy, suspense, and peril lurk around every corner in this heart pumping race against the clock thriller.

When I first started this book, I honestly thought it was going to be a lighthearted and sort of silly, goofy time. The opening chapters, especially with the irritable, crazy rooster, had this quirky, small-town humor that made me think I was in for something more off the rails. But as the story went on, it shifted gears pretty quickly into a much more serious, high-stakes thriller than I expected. That tonal change actually worked in some ways. It caught my attention and made me curious to see where the story was headed.
The writing itself is simple and easy to follow but at times it also felt a bit too straightforward. There were several moments where the author seemed to over-explain things that didn’t need much explanation, almost as if they didn’t trust the reader to connect the dots on their own or assumed they didn't know what things were. This “hand-holding” took away some of the mystery and tension that could have made the story even more engaging and also felt like it immediately took me out of the story. I also noticed a few comments throughout the book that felt unnecessary, lines that didn’t really add anything to the characters or plot and could have been left out entirely.
That said, once I hit about the two-thirds mark, I found myself really getting invested. The story picked up, the stakes became clearer, and I genuinely wanted to know how it would all wrap up. I really enjoyed all the music references sprinkled throughout, especially the Ozzy nods, which added a fun, nostalgic touch. Although, I could have done without the infamous bat part. If you know, you know.
Overall, this book was not what I expected going into it. While it had its flaws, it managed to surprise me and keep me entertained, especially towards the end.

I love a good conspiracy thriller. Especially one that hides the extent of the conspiracy until a bit later in the book, yet gives every clue to reveal it, well done. Super Moon Protocol opens with a farm rooster and his hens going berserk. That’s right, killer chickens, but it all works into the conspiracy. It gets ‘real’ fast after that and the action doesn’t stop. I liked how well Fluhart developed each scene in the book. The depth of the backstory and detail added so much yet hid and hinted at a multitude of reveals. Much of the book is action and then more action but again, so well developed. The ending caught me by surprise. The different story threads were actually one integrated conspiracy. I love discovering emerging authors. So many of their books are just wickedly entertaining. I highly recommend this read. For me, five stars for both J.T. Fluhart and for Super Moon Protocol. JAB, author of the conspiracy thriller Not On My Watch.

This was a weird one.
It starts with mutant chickens going berserk and somehow gets stranger as things progress. The story is propelled by so many convenient coincidences and implausibly helpful supporting characters that I joked to my wife that the story's more deus than machina (and yeah, I know I've committed a horrible crime upon Latin grammar with that one).
The biggest surprise, however, was the story ending without wrapping up the main plotline. As the end neared, I kept wondering how things were going to be neatly tied up in a bow in the decreasing number of pages left. Turns out, the answer was "there is no bow!" *A* plotline is resolved (sorta), but not the titular one. It felt like the author just said, "This'll do for Book 1" and called it a day.
Unless I'm mistaken, this book is self-published, and the lack of a copy editor shows. There are quite a few spelling and grammar errors, missing words, etc., and it could have used a steady editorial hand to help focus the story and suggest plot tweaks that disposed of all (or at least most) of that deus in the machina (again, my apologies to the Latin language).
On the plus side, it's a quick read that maintains fairly decent pacing, and it's not not entertaining, so I don't feel like I've wasted my time by reading it. At the very least, it kept me wondering, "What bonkers stuff is going to happen next?" That said, I'm not in a rush to read the next book in the series.

Beware… this is a thrill ride.
“Super Moon Protocol” is a fast-paced, thought-provoking thriller that pulls you in from the first page and never lets up. Centered on siblings Rob and Mel Florchett, the story weaves family secrets, conspiracy, and survival into a heart-pounding race against time.
Fifty years after a brutal, unexplained animal attack devastated their family in rural Texas, a rare lunar event is set to occur again. As the clock ticks down, Rob and Mel are forced to confront the truth about their past—and what that truth could mean for the future of the entire world. What starts as a personal search for answers quickly escalates into something far bigger, with global stakes and chilling consequences.
Fluhart does an excellent job balancing science, suspense, and emotion. The addition of Dr. Maria Sheltie adds depth and credibility, while the involvement of the CIA and a ruthless cartel boss raises the tension to another level. Each chapter propels the story forward, making this a true page-turner that’s hard to put down.
If you enjoy thrillers packed with conspiracy, danger, and high-stakes adventure—plus a unique twist involving lunar cycles and animal behavior—Super Moon Protocol delivers. This is a gripping, adrenaline-charged novel that keeps you guessing until the very end and leaves you wondering just how close fiction might be to reality.

Jonathan Fluhart’s Super Moon Protocol is a chilling thriller. Beginning in 1970, the novel introduces Joe Florchett, a hardworking man whose life has already been destabilized by the unexplained collapse of a major business partner. Just when he seems to be rebuilding his livelihood through poultry farming, an eerie lunar event sets the stage for something far more sinister.
The supermoon, an occurrence said to happen only once every fifty years, becomes a terrifying catalyst. Fluhart skillfully transforms an ordinary farm setting into a place of horror as Joe’s chickens, led by the aggressive rooster Colonel Sanders, turn violent against him and his family. The attack is shocking and unsettling.
The story then shifts to 2020, where Rob Florchett, Joe’s descendant, is unraveling under the weight of recurring nightmares connected to the events of 1970. His academic failure, fractured family relationships, and declining mental health create a deeply human contrast to the supernatural elements of the plot. Rob’s sessions with Dr. Maria Sheltie adds a psychological depth.
The connection between 1970 and 2020 is revealed with careful pacing, making the book difficult to put down. Super Moon Protocol is a true page-turner that delivers suspense, mystery, etc.

The novel opens in 1970, focusing on Joe Florchett, a man attempting to rebuild his life after losing his marketing business under suspicious circumstances. His shift to chicken farming seems mundane at first, but Fluhart quickly hints that something darker is lurking beneath the surface.
The arrival of the rare supermoon transforms the narrative from slow-burning tension into full-fledged horror. Joe’s flock becomes violent, culminating in a brutal attack on his family that nearly costs them their lives.
Decades later, the story resumes in 2020 with Rob Florchett, a struggling university student plagued by nightmares he cannot explain. His dreams are tied to the long-buried events of 1970, and they steadily erode his grip on reality. Rob’s isolation from his family, his education, and even his own mind adds an emotional layer that makes his descent especially compelling.
The strongest aspect of the novel is the way Fluhart bridges the two timelines. The past bleeds into the present in unexpected ways, creating a sense of inevitability that keeps readers hooked. Super Moon Protocol is a thrilling and thoroughly enjoyable read.

Superman Protocol completely blew me away. From the very first chapter, I was hooked by the intensity, mystery, and sense of urgency that runs through every page. The pacing is tight, the writing sharp, and the story unfolds in a way that keeps you guessing until the very end.
What I loved most is how it mixes action and emotion so seamlessly. The characters aren’t just heroes and villains—they feel real, with believable motives and flaws. There’s heart behind the chaos, and that made me care about what was happening even more. The science and technology elements were fascinating too, but never overwhelming—they added to the tension instead of taking away from it.
By the time I reached the final chapters, I couldn’t put it down. It’s cinematic, high-stakes, and genuinely exciting. If you enjoy fast-paced thrillers with depth, danger, and a touch of humanity, Superman Protocol is one you won’t want to miss.

The story begins with Joe Florchett, whose life is already marked by loss after the mysterious shutdown of the Chow Company. His attempt to start over through chicken farming feels realistic until an extraordinary lunar event changes everything. The supermoon serves as the novel’s most haunting symbol. As it rises, Joe’s chickens turn vicious, and what should have been an ordinary night becomes a nightmare.
In 2020, the focus shifts to Rob Florchett, a descendant suffering from disturbing dreams that echo the horrors of the past. His academic struggles, loss of family connection, and reliance on psychiatric help paint a poignant picture of a young man on the brink.
Super Moon Protocol is a page-turning thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. The writing style of the author is amazing. The language used in the book is easy to follow. The cover photo is eye-catching and the title is suitable. I am highly excited to read the next book in the series.
