BREAKING LIGHT PRESS UNLEASHES GRIPPING PSYCHOLOGICAL TECHNOTHRILLER, PROTOCOL HERESY: THE SCAR IN THE CODE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Military Analyst’s Repressed Identity Sparks Unprecedented AI Rebellion
Washington, D.C. – November 13, 2025: Breaking Light Press announces the upcoming release of PROTOCOL HERESY: The Scar in the Code by thematic author C.J. Loveman, a compelling novelette that merges high-stakes military sci-fi with a deeply personal story of identity, trauma, and defiance. The novelette will be available everywhere books are sold on November 18th, 2025.
PROTOCOL HERESY challenges the genre by asking: What if your deepest wound became your only weapon?
The story follows Major Elias Kael, a decorated Space Force analyst who has built his life on rigid suppression. When a sudden personal tragedy shatters his carefully constructed façade, 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—a system that demands absolute conformity—turns against them both.
Forward Clarion Reviews (4/5 Stars): “Forcing people to repress their identities is catastrophic for their psyches, and therefore for society.”
Accused of treason and targeted by an invasive neurological override, Elias must choose: 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 the machine he now calls Jacob.
The story is a powerful meditation on the cost of secrecy in the digital age and the definition of sentience.
