A cryptic symbol. A deadly secret. A choice that could end the world.
When eccentric data analyst Ethan Cole stumbles upon a strange alien sigil embedded in decades-old UFO footage, he thinks he's losing his mind. But when a shadowy figure known only as The Archivist confirms his discovery, Ethan is thrust into a chilling conspiracy that dates back to the Cold War.
Racing from the icy vaults of Berlin's Stasi archives to the forbidden slopes of North Korea's Mount Paektu, Ethan teams up with MI6 operative Priya Sharma to expose a secret buried for generations: The Pyongyang Protocol - extraterrestrial refugees hidden on Earth, captured, and experimented on by rival superpowers.
The aliens left behind one final legacy: a cure for climate collapse. But revealing it could expose truths so volatile they'd ignite a global war.
With governments, mercenaries, and intelligence agencies closing in, Ethan must decide: protect the alien truth or risk annihilation to share it with the world.
