Desert Storm

An off-the-books mission. One survivor. And a truth too dangerous to bury.

Just a week ago, a black ops team vanished during an unauthorized operation in the Middle East. The mission wasn't classified - it was never supposed to exist. Now, one operative, Vivian Drake, is in custody. The others are presumed dead. At a secure military facility, investigators Brandt and Maclaren are tasked with finding out what went wrong. But the more they dig, the stranger the details become - missing files, altered transcripts, and rumors of something still moving out in the desert. Meanwhile, journalist Kathy Vale follows a separate trail: a leaked report, a backchannel informant, and whispers of defunct programs with codenames like Project Orion. As she uncovers what the government has tried to erase, it becomes clear that this wasn't just another botched op. It was something else entirely. Desert Storm is a gripping political thriller that blends shadow warfare, buried science, and the lengths powerful forces will go to in order to control the narrative - and the human cost of those who fight to uncover it.
