Some secrets aren’t meant to be uncovered.
Some are meant to survive the end of the world.

When Ethan Hawthorne stumbles onto the real purpose of the Bohemian Grove, he becomes the one man alive who knows what the powerful have planned—and what they’re willing to do to keep it hidden. His evidence vanishes into the shadows of an old intelligence network… and so does he.

Thousands of miles away, Brad Turing—veteran SIGINT officer and guardian of America’s continuity-of-government system—receives a codeword he’s never seen before: CERBERUS. A project so classified even the men who built the bunkers don’t know what lies beneath them.

As encrypted numbers stations awaken, deep-mountain tunnels hum to life, and a global purge list begins to finalize, Brad realizes the government he serves has already made its choice:
Not everyone gets to survive what’s coming.

Now Brad, a retired spook in the Rockies, and a handful of operatives who should never have met must piece together a conspiracy decades in the making—before the world they know is quietly replaced by one built in secret.

The Meadow Protocol has begun.
And the last people meant to know are the ones still above ground.
