Snowblind Protocol

Dex Decker is an engineer who understands systems-how they're built, how they fail, and how they lie.
When a last-minute work trip pulls him from the Midwest to northern Italy, Dex expects to evaluate a technical problem and return home unchanged. Instead, he finds himself drawn into a quiet war being waged far from headlines and borders-a war fought with data, prediction, and silence.
High in the Alps north of Milan, a hidden internet exchange is being used to monitor global traffic, manipulate markets, and influence governments. The operation is old, patient, and protected by men who have survived every evolution of power by never being seen.
Dex is chosen not for his obedience, but for his ability to notice what others miss.
As a calculated trap closes around him, Dex must rely on instincts forged in engineering and computer security to survive long enough to expose a system built on certainty. Meanwhile, his friend and colleague Joe-street-smart, relentless, and underestimated-moves in from the margins, exploiting the blind spots no one thought to defend.
What follows is not a race against time, but a confrontation with inevitability itself.
Because some threats don't need weapons.
They just need to be believed.
Snowblind Protocol is a modern techno-thriller about invisible power, unintended momentum, and the small decisions that determine whether a system rolls forward-or collapses under its own certainty.
