The Aerie Protocol: A Skyborne Saga
About
THE TRUTH ISN’T OUT THERE—IT’S RIGHT ABOVE US.
Photojournalist Mac is a man of observations, not actions. But when he develops photos of the Icelandic crash site that claimed his best friend Julian’s life, he sees the impossible: ionized scorch marks that no storm could ever produce. Driven by a grief he refuses to acknowledge and a camera lens that never lies, Mac follows Julian’s final, dangerous trail of breadcrumbs.
Beyond the clouds lies the Aerie—a highly advanced society existing in the literal eye of the storm. But this isn’t a paradise. The Aerie is fighting a losing war against the very forces of nature they once commanded, and the atmospheric matrix holding them aloft is failing.
Caught between Dr. Thorne’s ruthless subterranean experiments and a city plummeting toward the coast, Mac must choose: Will he remain a detached observer of the world’s end, or will he risk everything to finish Julian’s last story and save the people in the sky?
Perfect for fans of the high-stakes mystery of THE X-FILES and the immersive world-building of BIOSHOCK, this gripping science fiction thriller explores the thin line between human innovation and environmental catastrophe.
Can Mac expose the protocol before the sky falls?
