Cold Water Requiem

Falcon Johnson was declared dead at 02:17. The problem is—he didn't stay that way. A former U.S. Marine Force Recon operator, Falcon has spent his life surviving the kinds of missions that don't officially exist. But when a covert extraction leaves him erased from the system and presumed dead, he's pulled into something far more dangerous than war. Because this time… He wasn't just targeted. He was chosen. Waking inside a controlled prison facility on Prince Edward Island, Falcon quickly learns the truth: the world he thought he understood is layered with unseen power—organizations that don't answer to governments, syndicates that operate both inside and outside the law, and a system that already decided his fate. Dead men don't get rights. Dead men get used. As violence rises inside the prison and a criminal network spreads beyond it, Falcon is forced into a brutal reality—fight, align, or disappear for real this time. But Falcon doesn't follow orders anymore. He makes them. Haunted by the loss of his family—Bianca and his 12-year-old daughter Kiana—he's no longer fighting for survival. He's fighting for something he thought was gone. Hope. And when a man like Falcon has nothing left to lose… Everyone else should be afraid.
