Ascension Protocol

An Alex Harlan FBI Thriller

Perfect for fans of Brad Thor, Kyle Mills, and Tom Clancy

The Ridge Line Trust was never just about trafficking. It was always about control.

FBI profiler Alex Harlan joins a specialized task force hunting the Trust's governing Council—seven members controlling a global criminal empire. Their endgame: the Ascension Protocol, a three-part strategy to dominate the world's financial systems through regulatory capture, hidden banking networks, and quantum encryption technology.

Target one: Philippe Rousseau, European banking specialist operating from Paris. Target two: Westfield, technology architect overseeing a quantum encryption system in Seattle that could make the Trust's operations unbreakable.

But when Alex's team is ambushed during a Paris evidence transfer, it's clear the Council knows they're coming. The task force has been compromised, and Trust assets are embedded in the very agencies hunting them.

Racing from Paris to the Swiss Alps to capture Rousseau, Alex uncovers intelligence on Westfield's Seattle operation: a quantum encryption system set to go online in 72 hours. Once active, the Trust can manipulate global markets undetected and consolidate power across continents.

With Agent Diana Keller and tech specialist Webb, Alex launches a surgical strike against Westfield's fortified research campus. But Westfield has military-grade security and contingency protocols designed for exactly this scenario.

Two Council members. Two operations. One last chance to stop the Ascension Protocol before it's too late.
