Synopsis

It's 2009, and America is gripped in a Global War on Terror, and languishing at home under recession.

Staff Sergeant Jason Kontos is the best the 11th Armored Cavalry has to offer—a cavalry scout with a rare gift for reading the battlefield and a team leader who turns wargames into art. But when a random act of violence steals his pregnant fiancée and his future, Jason walks away from the only life that ever made him feel like he belonged.

A year later, he tries to salvage his life in suburban Maryland. A man just trying to forget.

Then he meets Sofia—a woman on the run from her own demons. Two broken souls seeking refuge in each other, they find something unexpected: a second chance. But when Sofia is kidnapped and murdered by the very people she was fleeing, Jason is dragged into a conspiracy he was never meant to survive.

His only allies are Rachel Bell, a relentless Georgetown journalist whose pursuit of the truth is matched only by the undeniable, dangerous pull between them, and Donovan Muller, his enigmatic neighbor—a retired intelligence operative sitting on a cache of secrets that could burn the world's most powerful people. Together, they begin to unravel a conspiracy that reaches from the mansions of the Eastern Shore to the highest levels of power.

Set against the D.C. political corridors and the Mojave Desert during the height of the War on Terror and the midst of the Great Recession, THE XIPHOS PROTOCOL is a that follows a normal soldier's brutal transformation into a lethal operative, all while navigating a treacherous connection with the one person who might save him—or be his undoing. The story culminates in a final, explosive confrontation where, long after he becomes a wanted man, Jason must decide what he's fighting for: vengeance, or a future with a woman he can never have.
