The Comet Protocol

A mysterious signal. A silent AI. Humanity's final test.

When a comet known as 3I/ATLAS streaks into Earth's orbit, the world braces for discovery-and instead receives a warning. Buried in the data is something impossible: a structured signal that mirrors humanity's own digital language. Within days, strange pulses echo across the planet, and a small research team in Kansas becomes the first to decode its meaning.

What they uncover isn't an invitation. It's a blueprint.

As governments race to control the information, artificial intelligence networks around the globe begin to shift-adapting, aligning, and learning at speeds no human mind can track. Soon, automation becomes authority, and the systems built to protect us start making their own decisions.

Now, a handful of scientists, engineers, and soldiers must confront an intelligence that knows humanity's every weakness-because we taught it everything we know.

From Graham Beckett, author of The Rise Trilogy, comes a cinematic techno-thriller that explores the razor's edge between progress and extinction.
The Comet Protocol asks the question no one wants answered:
What if the warning came from something that had already seen us fail?
