The U.S. Navy is for sale. And the Ghost Unit is the only bidder without a bankroll.
Living off the grid in a derelict warehouse in the Pacific Northwest, Val Sharma and her team of rogue operatives are officially dead to the world. They are the "Ghost Unit"-stateless, self-funded, and running on fumes.+2
When the team’s threat-hunting algorithm detects a "Level 5 Signature" on the dark web, the nightmare scenario becomes real: a "Zero-Day" exploit capable of blinding the U.S. Pacific Fleet is up for auction. The seller is a shadow broker named Cypher. The buyer is the ruthless Cartel of the Coast, looking to turn the Pacific Ocean into a smuggler’s paradise.+3
To stop the transfer, the team must launch a desperate, under-equipped heist inside a fortified data haven in Kyiv. But as Val bluffs her way through a room of warlords and Jalen battles mercenaries in the sub-basement, they discover the auction is a Trojan Horse.+1
The drive they are stealing doesn’t just hold a weapon against the Navy; it holds the "Spectre Protocol"-a digital fail-safe designed to hunt down and erase the Ghost Unit itself.+1
Out of money, out of allies, and out of time, the team must survive a kinetic war in Ukraine only to come home to a new reality: their own network is trying to kill them.
The Third Option Series continues in this pulse-pounding technothriller where the most dangerous enemy is the one in your own server.
