Built to disappear. betrayed by the system. now he's rewriting the rules. noah shaw was born for this work-raised behind theater curtains, trained to become anyone. recruited young into division 9, a covert counterterror unit, he was the perfect deep-cover operative. until he fell for an asset. until the mission unraveled. until the people he trusted burned him to the ground. exiled to a squad designed to fail, shaw is thrown into a new operation-one with no clear objective and a team that might not be what they seem. when a staged heist exposes a black program called fold, shaw uncovers a truth too dangerous to ignore: he wasn't just recruited. he was engineered. now he's going rogue-with a crew of outcasts, a kill switch in his pocket, and enemies in every shadow. from jeremiah brown comes a razor-sharp espionage novella-packed with tactical action, covert deception, and the emotional grit of a spy who's lost everything but the mission. the fold protocol is book one in the division 9 files. a spy thriller novella for fans of jason bourne, jack ryan, and fast, intelligent storytelling.
