The Leviathan Protocol-First Contact Did Not Come from the Stars

Genres: Sea Adventures; Mystery; Thrillers

Synopsis

The ocean is dying and something beneath it is waking up!

When a Chinese deep-sea mining rig drills into the floor of the Mariana Trench, they expect to strike rare minerals—what they uncover instead is alive. The ocean is dying. Something beneath it is waking up.

When a Chinese deep-sea mining operation drills into the Mariana Trench, the entire facility vanishes—triggering a global cover-up, mysterious seismic anomalies, and mass die-offs of marine life. Oceanographer Dr. Jenna Kessler joins a U.S. mission to investigate—and uncovers a massive bioluminescent structure buried beneath the trench floor.

Part machine, part organism, and fully sentient, the entity may hold the key to humanity's past... and its extinction. As world powers collide, hallucinations spread among the crew, and an alien signal pulses across the Pacific, it becomes clear: this isn't first contact—it's a warning.

Leviathan Protocol is a deep-sea eco-thriller blending cutting-edge science, ancient mythology, and geopolitical suspense. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, James Rollins, and The Abyss.
