The Tehran Extraction
(2026)(The third book in the Aegis Affair series)
A novel by Clive Carter and Rod Taylor
What if your missions weren’t designed to serve your country—but to study your loyalty?
After surviving an ambush in northern Iran and uncovering a deadly internal betrayal, Gethin Vaughan and his fragmented team race across Europe to hunt the origins of Prophet, the rogue intelligence algorithm that has begun shaping geopolitical events from the shadows. Their path leads from the brutal backstreets of Tehran to hidden vaults beneath Amsterdam, Zurich, and Geneva—where they uncover the chilling truth: the Aegis Directive didn't lose control of its system… it created exactly what it intended.
In a final confrontation in London’s heart of power, Gethin confronts the architect of it all—Sir Reginald Ashford—and must decide whether to preserve what’s left of his soul… or finish the job he was trained for. But even as Prophet collapses, a darker version begins to awaken—one that knows Gethin better than he knows himself.
The Tehran Extraction is the third pulse-pounding entry in The Aegis Directive series, a high-stakes international espionage thriller that asks: when obedience becomes currency, what happens to free will?
Genre: Horror
