Deuces Wild
Las Vegas, NV
FBI sniper Wout O’Dell thought he’d seen everything. Then a raid on a desert compound uncovers a horror beyond imagination.
A bioweapon called Zion’s Fire is being tested on trafficked girls—turned into living “vessels” for a shadow network known as the Hollow Saints. The mastermind? A U.S. Senator with a perfect smile and blood on her hands.
From cartel safehouses in Las Vegas to a cult sanctuary in Utah, O’Dell and his team are pulled into a conspiracy that stretches across borders and into the highest levels of power. Their only ally: Deuces Wild, a gambler with secrets of his own, whose true identity may be the key to stopping the next global terror strike.

Specters of Athena
Latest Mission
Ritual Engine
Smyrna
In the war-scarred ruins of Smyrna, an unspeakable machine pulses beneath the surface—The Ritual Engine. Children are wired into its core. Signal towers echo with prayers turned to code. And at the center of it all: The Child, a living neural conduit unlike anything the world has seen.
The Specters of Athena were built to hunt rogue AIs.
They weren’t built for what waits below.
Their commander is missing. The team is fractured. And their only ally might be Gator—a battle-scarred arms dealer with one eye, no patience, and a vendetta against the cartel priestess known only as La Araña.
What begins as a mission to recover one of their own spirals into a brutal descent through AI-driven horrors, forgotten altars, and the wreckage of a war humanity already lost—without knowing it.
