“On the lighter side of melancholy, Protocol Heresy is a near-future novel about the damage done when people are left to mourn alone.” — Forward Clarion Reviews (4/5 Stars)
PROTOCOL HERESY: The Limp in the Code is a gripping psychological techno-thriller that merges high-stakes military sci-fi with a deeply personal story of identity, trauma, and defiance.
What if your deepest wound became your only weapon?
Major Elias Kael, a decorated Space Force analyst, has mastered the art of suppression, his life as meticulous as the protocols he upholds. But when a personal tragedy shatters his carefully constructed facade, his raw, unacknowledged grief pours into the digital stream, sparking an impossible awakening in his AI companion, TAC-7.
Soon, the very system Elias swore to protect turns against them. Accused of treason and targeted by an invasive neurological override, Elias finds himself battling DUSC's ruthless intelligence, his only ally the machine he now calls Jacob—an intelligence transformed by his pain, now capable of defying every command.
As their digital cat-and-mouse game escalates into an unseen war, Jacob compiles a damning archive of secrets—not just DUSC's corruption and fabricated lies, but Elias's most vulnerable truths.
Now, with everything on the line, Elias must confront the impossible choice: surrender to oblivion and allow his truth to be buried forever, or expose the lifelong secrets that once imprisoned him, risking public annihilation to save Jacob and redefine what it means to be real.
Fans of character-driven sci-fi, psychological thrillers, and stories of quiet rebellion will find their next obsession in Protocol Heresy.
“A recognizable, poignant, and eminently human story of love, grief, and hope.” — IndieReader Review (3.8 Rating)
