Carrier: Ironsilk Protocols--Book One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247538028)

No Safe Harbor

The USS George Washington is the pride of the Pacific Fleet-a floating city of nuclear power, high-tech weaponry, and American steel. Anchored in the humid heat of Guanabara Bay for a diplomatic visit to Rio de Janeiro, the crew is looking forward to shore leave.

They get hell instead.

When the lights go out in Rio and the city begins to scream, Petty Officer James knows the drill-man the watch, secure the perimeter, and wait for orders. But James has never trained for an enemy like this.

A biological containment breach has unleashed an apex predator: a genetically engineered swarm designed to chew through concrete, polymer, and HY-80 steel. They aren't just killing the crew; they are using them as hosts to build a hive inside the ship's hull.

With the reactor climbing toward a critical meltdown and the ship's internal security collapsing, James must lead a ragtag team of survivors through a vertical maze of pitch-black corridors and grease-slicked ladder wells. Their mission: reach the heart of the ship, restart the power, and find a way to kill a monster that was built to be indestructible.

Failure isn't just a death sentence for the crew-it's the end of the world.

Carrier is the pulse-pounding first book of the Ironsilk Protocols, a military horror series perfect for fans of the tactical realism of Tom Clancy and the biological nightmares of Michael Crichton.
