Firebreak Protocol

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Seven fires predicted. Five already burning. The sixth is three hours away. Wildfire investigator Dr. Mara Voss trusts the physical evidence others overlook. Fuel, wind, terrain—fire always tells the truth. So when a dying courier presses a memory card into her hand inside a scorched French vineyard, Mara recognizes something impossible: coordinates and ignition times for seven wildfires, mapped before they began. Authorities dismiss the files as an elaborate hoax. Mara cannot. The first five predictions are exact, and the next blaze is scheduled to erupt above an unsuspecting village before sunset. Racing against the clock, she discovers hidden equipment designed to make manufactured fires look natural—and a pattern stretching far beyond arson. The fires are cutting a corridor through Europe’s emergency communications network. At the end of that corridor, secret peace negotiations are the only barrier preventing a regional conflict from becoming a war. Inside those talks is Daniel Mercer, the diplomat Mara once planned to marry and the man she has spent more than twenty years trying to forget. As fire closes around civilians and forged military signals push two nations toward retaliation, Mara must prove that the catastrophe is a weapon. But the conspiracy is built to burn its own evidence, her professional reputation is already in ruins, and trusting her instincts once cost lives. This time, being right will not be enough. She must enter the fire, preserve the one piece of evidence the enemy cannot erase, and expose the truth before Europe’s last chance for peace goes up in flames. The Firebreak Protocol launches the Mara Voss Crisis Files, a fast-paced international conspiracy thriller blending disaster survival, plausible technology, political intrigue, and slow-burn romantic suspense.
