First contact is only the beginning.

When evidence of a nonhuman presence exposes decades of secrecy, the President forms an elite military and scientific team to uncover the truth.

Led by Jake Sullivan, their investigation into missing scientists takes them from the Amazon to a civilization beneath Earth’s oceans—and onward to the Moon. In their path stands a clandestine network willing to kill to protect its secrets.

The Prometheus Agenda is a military science-fiction thriller of first contact, ancient mysteries, and a struggle over who controls humanity’s future.

The President wants the truth. His team must survive long enough to bring it home.
