The Pegasus Protocol - Demetrios G. Kane

His father didn’t die. He was erased from the timeline.

Athens, 1993. Dimitris Diogenis lives in the shadow of an empty grave. Haunted by his father’s inexplicable disappearance during a classified military test twenty years ago, Dimitris buries his grief in 90s rock, circuit boards, and a gnawing obsession to prove the official report was a cover-up.

When a locked, non-terrestrial artifact surfaces from his father’s vault-bearing encrypted notebooks and a sentient quantum cipher-Dimitris is thrust into a labyrinth far deadlier than corporate espionage. Flanked by a cynical hacker and an enigmatic woman with classified ties to the original experiment, he begins piecing together the terrifying truth behind Project Pegasus: a clandestine machine designed to siphon limitless energy from the quantum void.

As unmarked black sedans hunt them through rain-slicked streets and an invisible global syndicate closes the net, Dimitris realizes his entire life is no accident. He was engineered as the final variable in a cosmic war between absolute control and human freedom. To avert a timeline where humanity burns, he must resurrect the machine that destroyed his family-even if the price of salvation demands his total erasure.

The future has already happened. The only question is who survives the echo.
