The Neptune Directive

Some ghosts refuse to stay buried.

Five years ago, Alex Dugan's DEVGRU team was sent on a classified op with Aegis Solutions, a private military contractor with deep government ties. When they refused an order that would have left civilians dead, the mission turned into an execution. His team was erased. Officially, they never existed.

Now, it's happening again. But this time, it's bigger.

Aegis isn't just tying up loose ends-they're erasing anyone connected to Neptune Eagle, a classified surveillance project buried deep in the system. Former operatives. Whistleblowers. Contractors who thought they got out clean. Men like Rick Porter-until his house was broken into, his truck sabotaged, and a tracker planted under his seat.

Porter thought it was a scare tactic-until a simple security job brings Alex Dugan into his orbit.

Dugan recognizes the pattern immediately. This isn't intimidation. It's a kill list. And once you're on it, there's only one way it ends.

Aegis thinks he's dead. The Pentagon has no record of his survival. Most of the men hunting him don't even realize they're chasing a ghost. But one man-one very powerful man-knows the truth.

And he's afraid.

They left Dugan bleeding in the dirt, convinced he wouldn't survive.
They buried their past, never expecting it to claw its way back.

They were wrong.

Now, Alex Dugan is done running. He's turning the hunt back on them..
