Book One in the Apostate Series

“I HIGHLY recommend this incredibly relevant dystopian short story to any American that’s currently feeling a little… anxious about the state of our country right now. I’m only giving four stars because I do want this to be a little longer!”

Protocol Heresy: The Scar in the Code is a gripping psychological technothriller set in a rigid military hierarchy where systemic repression reigns.
