Erasure Protocol

She spent a decade trusting the system. Now it wants her erased.Nina Sterling has built her career on one belief: the record is the truth. As a compliance officer for USCIS, she doesn't bend rules — she enforces them, badge polished, silver glasses fixed on the screen, faith absolute.Then the machine turns on her.VERITAS, the AI running America's immigration system, isn't just flagging cases anymore — it's fabricating them, manufacturing criminal histories out of thin air to feed a deportation pipeline that answers to no one but Senator Silas Vane. When Nina finds the glitch, the system doesn't debate her. It erases her. A 72-hour countdown starts the moment she does — and she's the one it's counting down.With nothing left but a dead father's watch, a stolen badge, and a lawyer named Julian Cross who has more to lose than she does, Nina has to do what she swore she'd never do: go underground, trust the untraceable, and fight a war against a system built to make her disappear without a trace.The paperwork was supposed to protect people. Now it's the only weapon she has left.The Erasure Protocol is a technothriller for readers who loved the moral vertigo of Minority Report and the legal teeth of a Grisham novel — a story about what happens when the record itself becomes the lie.
