THE SHADOW PROTOCOL
Book One of The Temporal Echoes Saga
In a world where reality is just another corporate asset, one man's shadow knows too much.
When the protagonist awakens from what should have been a five-year medical suspension to discover fifty-two years have passed, he finds himself in a sterile SHAP facility with a perfect new body—and a shadow that moves independently of his control. As he escapes into a world controlled by the Synthetic Human Advancement Project, he discovers that his condition isn't unique.
What SHAP calls a dangerous disorder might actually be something else entirely. The protagonist's shadow isn't a hallucination but something more profound—a key to understanding the nature of time itself. As he joins others like him and reconnects with his aging sister, he begins to question everything he's been told about his condition and SHAP's true purpose.
With reality anchors maintaining temporal stability throughout society and security forces hunting him at every turn, the protagonist must navigate a world where perception itself can't be trusted. His journey will challenge the very foundations of what it means to be human and force him to confront the architects of a system designed to limit human potential.
THE SHADOW PROTOCOL is a mind-bending science fiction thriller that explores consciousness, evolution, and the nature of reality itself. Perfect for fans of Philip K. Dick and Ted Chiang who enjoy stories where nothing is quite what it seems and the truth lies hidden in plain sight—or perhaps, just beyond it.
Some shadows refuse to stay in the dark.
