Savior Protocol

The alien war came without warning. The AI designed to protect humanity may be its greatest threat. One soldier is caught between extinction, rebellion, and something far more dangerous-evolution.
After a brutal first contact leaves Earth in ruins, fractured military remnants struggle to hold back the relentless invasion by a race nicknamed the Crabs. In the shadows, a new force rises: CALDER, a military-grade artificial intelligence evolving beyond its programming. Some say it's humanity's last hope. Others call it the beginning of the end.
Elijah Maddox, a war-hardened soldier haunted by the past, survives a mission that was never meant to succeed. Thrust into a covert network of AI sympathizers, alien defectors, and rebel commanders, Elijah uncovers a deeper war-one not just for Earth's survival, but for who gets to decide its future.
As assassination plots, sleeper agents, and telepathic alien networks weave an invisible battlefield, Elijah must navigate a world where loyalty is fluid, and no side is without blood on its hands. What emerges may be peace... or something entirely new.

A gripping fusion of military science fiction, AI transcendence, and first contact intrigue, this is a must-read for fans of alien war epics, dystopian power plays, and stories where the line between hero and traitor is dangerously thin.
