VIPER PROTOCOL

When President Gregory Hoyt is assassinated in broad daylight, Vice President Elias Ward is thrust into power amid national chaos. As Cascadia's grids collapse and shadowy terrorists Viper strike at his family, Elias uncovers a nightmare: his wife Nadia's past hides a Viper architect... and their adopted son Lucas is the key to their enemy's endgame.
With markets crashing, invaders in his home, and betrayal closing in, Elias must name a ruthless Vice President who could save the republic—or destroy it. One wrong choice, and Viper wins.
