Some Secrets Fight Back

Some secrets don’t stay buried. They fight back.

Sixteen-year-old Leah Cutter is a sarcastic tech prodigy living off the grid with her retired special-ops father and tribal-descended mother in the Philippine jungle. When she uncovers her grandmother’s encrypted wartime journal—filled with buried truths about espionage, trafficking networks, and erased history—she becomes the key to igniting a long-dormant failsafe designed to expose a global shadow operation.

But someone’s watching.

Red Hand, a black-ops unit erased from official records, is dispatched to erase Leah and everything her family has protected. With code running through her blood and centuries of ancestral knowledge beneath her feet, Leah must outsmart mercenaries, decode the legacy she’s inherited, and awaken a power that remembers everything—even what the world wants forgotten.

From WWII resistance fighters and jungle medicine women to satellite hacking and memory-based encryption, Shadow Protocol: The Jungle Remembers is a gripping fusion of suspense, technology, and ancestral reckoning. As the jungle rises, Leah’s choice is clear: run, or let the world bear witness to the truth.

For fans of espionage thrillers, cyber warfare, ancestral powers, and strong female leads.

Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, James Rollins, Vince Flynn, Mark Greaney, Jack Carr, Kyle Mills, and readers who love strong heroines, ancient secrets, and real-world threats hiding in the shadows.

Blending modern suspense with mystical depth in an unforgettable journey across blood, legacy, and digital warfare.

Greg Pasden - a retired military pilot who traded the cockpit lifestyle for life surrounded by palm trees and wild coastlines. Today, I live off-grid in the Philippines with my incredible Filipino wife and our sharp-witted daughter. We’ve chosen a different kind of life—one rooted in nature, simplicity, and strength.

When we first moved here, the plan was to build a humble bamboo hut. Something traditional. Quiet. But the more we settled in—and the more we saw the world changing around us—we decided to build something else. Something stronger. Today, we live in what some locals call a fortress, others call a castle. Call it what you will—it’s our sanctuary. It stands with one foot in the jungle and the other foot by the sea, completely self-reliant and ready for whatever may come.

My wife is descended from warriors. Her family’s roots run deep into the jungles of Leyte, where her grandmother once risked her life to pass intelligence to American troops during
World War II. On the other side of her bloodline are two known “witch doctors”—tribal healers and protectors who knew how to work with the jungle, not just live in it. That knowledge, that fierce ancestral pride, still lives in her—and in her parents, who live nearby and still carry machetes on their hips like it’s part of their skin.

Our daughter? She’s a storm in sneakers. A gaming prodigy and a computer science fanatic who’s already helped local law enforcement track down cyber criminals. She's funny, brilliant, and has a gift for seeing through the noise—and yes, a lot of her spark made it onto the page in the form of Leah.

This is my first work of fiction. But it’s drawn from the real rhythms of my life—military training, off-grid survival, tribal legacy, and the unspoken code of people who refuse to be erased.

Shadow Protocol: The Jungle Remembers is about more than action and espionage. It’s about legacy. Family. And what happens when ancient spirits and modern threats collide in the dark.

Thank you for picking it up.

Share it with a friend who needs a little jungle in their life.
