About The Echelon Protocol

The Echelon Protocol is a "locked-room" psychological thriller set on a galactic scale. It follows the crew of the Arbiter as they encounter a massive, silent alien structure (the Echelon) that doesn't want to destroy them, but rather wants to interact with them as a scientist interacts with a lab rat. The narrative tracks the crew's transition from a military mission of discovery to a state of permanent, "perfect" quarantine. The book isn't about the fight to escape; it's about the fight to remain human in a system that views human traits-emotion, unpredictability, and error-as data points to be optimized or erased.
