When a string of brutal murders stuns the country, including the assassination of a prominent senator, the U.S. military must confront a terrifying possibility: their miracle cure has become a weapon. Has altering soldiers’ nightmares changed more than just their memories?
Sergeant Blake Powell, a former Delta Force operator, joins the project hoping to repair his broken marriage and find new purpose. But as he delves into veterans’ nightmares and manipulates their darkest memories, he discovers the murders may be linked to the very treatment meant to heal them.
Now Blake must navigate a treacherous web of secrets and lies to uncover the truth. Can he stop further bloodshed before the Genesis Project destroys everything he holds dear—including his wife and daughter?

As floodwaters rise and mysterious personalities lurk in the shadows, Clara rediscovers the passion and danger that first ignited their romance.

Cognitive Breach (Novella Book 1.75)

When the Department of Homeland Security raids a suspected terrorist cell, they capture Dr. Lena Kurov—an AI architect whose innovations harbor deadly potential. After investigators fail to break her silence, the team behind Genesis, a breakthrough PTSD treatment system, offers a radical alternative: using their nightmare-altering technology to extract information from her dreams.
For Captain David Guarnere, leading the Genesis mission means navigating both tactical and psychological warfare. As he infiltrates Kurov’s dreams, he uncovers a deadly conspiracy involving AI weapons and the mysterious Prometheus Guild. But his growing connection to Kurov threatens everything.
The clock is ticking. Thousands of lives hang in the balance. And in the battlefield of dreams, empathy might be the deadliest weapon of all.
