Shadow Protocol

They survived the mission. What they uncovered was worse.

Ghost Nine was built for operations that could never officially happen. No flags. No headlines. No record.

But after their first mission exposes signs of something larger, Kai Kealoha and the team begin tracing erased units, buried authorizations, and connections that were never meant to be seen.

The trail leads to a hidden protocol designed to control deniable assets through selection, compartmentation, and removal.

Someone knows how Ghost Nine was built. Someone understands the machinery behind the missions. And the closer Kai and the team get to the truth, the more dangerous the distinction becomes between being deployed—and being used.

Every answer opens another sealed door. Every ally carries a limit. And some protocols were designed to survive the people who created them.

SShadow Protocol is the second novel in the Ghost Nine series, following Kai Kealoha and his team as their first mission pulls them deeper into the forces responsible for creating them.
