Ethan Ward: The Kessler protocol

Ethan Ward: The Kessler Protocol
A globe-trotting spy thriller of deception, betrayal, and one final performance.

Ethan Ward is a disavowed CIA operative with a reputation for theatrics and an instinct for chaos-the kind of man governments deny knowing and enemies never see coming. Pulled out of exile by a shadowy threat known only as the Kessler Protocol, Ward finds himself thrust into a global conspiracy that could ignite the next world war.

When a rogue tech mogul turned dictator, Malcolm Thorne, activates a network of sleeper nodes hidden across the world, Ethan is forced to team up with the enigmatic and lethal Isabella Varga-a stunning former double agent with secrets of her own. Together, they race against time, crossing continents and burning alliances to dismantle the digital doomsday device before it can reshape the world in Thorne's image.

From back-alley deals in Shanghai's slums to masked galas on Thorne's sovereign island fortress, The Kessler Protocol blends classic espionage flair with modern geopolitical terror. Ward isn't just fighting to stop a weapon-he's navigating ghosts of his past, confronting a protégé turned nemesis, and discovering that the last play in the game of spies doesn't end in a bullet, but a choice.

Suave, sarcastic, and quietly haunted, Ethan Ward is not your average hero. He's the last of the old-school agents, a master of seduction and subversion in an era of drones and data. And this time, he's putting on a show no one will forget.
