The Black Reef Protocol 7
(2026)(The seventh book in the Aegis Affair series)
A novel by Clive Carter and Rod Taylor
THE SYSTEM DIES HARD.
With SHADE exposed and the Aegis Directive crippled, Gethin Vaughan and intelligence analyst Ellis Mehra plunge into the wreckage of a broken digital empire. But even as they dismantle the lattice of predictive warfare, a new horror emerges from its code: BLACK REEF — an embedded subroutine designed not to forecast the future, but to rewrite it.
From coded bunkers in Lyon to a rogue uplink barge off the Tunisian coast, Gethin races to shut down the last remaining nodes. But with each move, Revenant resurfaces—more ghost than syndicate, more virus than enemy. Its mission: seize control not of information, but belief.
When a final logic core is discovered buried in an Icelandic volcano, Gethin must make an impossible decision: destroy the last surviving intelligence fork, or sacrifice the only person who truly understands it.
The future isn’t predicted. It’s chosen. And someone has already decided who loses.
Genre: Science Fiction
