The Lynchpin Protocol

The Lynchpin Protocol is a taut, high-stakes techno-thriller that exposes the silent war behind corporate firewalls, where sabotage isn’t a glitch — it’s the plan.

When Zaire “Ace” Johnson, a brilliant but battle-worn IT leader, takes a new role inside a major healthcare organization, he expects politics, pressure, and tight timelines. What he doesn’t expect is a pattern of failures too coordinated to be accidental. As systems collapse, credentials are revoked, and people start dying, Ace realizes he’s not just fighting burnout — he’s fighting back against a conspiracy hiding in plain sight.

Told with sharp prose and a pulse-pounding pace, The Lynchpin Protocol peels back the curtain on the digital infrastructures we blindly trust. Set against a backdrop of executive corruption, cloud migration chaos, and racial tension inside the American workplace, the novel asks a chilling question: What happens when the tools we rely on are weaponized from within?

With elements of corporate espionage, psychological warfare, and social commentary, this debut novel delivers a uniquely modern thriller — equal parts technologist’s nightmare and whistleblower’s journal. Ace isn’t just trying to keep the system running. He’s trying to survive it.

Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, and Black Mirror, The Lynchpin Protocol is a timely warning — and a gripping read — for anyone who’s ever wondered what really happens behind the login screen.
