Tracy Fire. Crossfire Protocol - Ben Patterson

Former combat pilot slash bounty hunter Tracy Fire doesn't take orders anymore. Not from generals. Not from corporations. Not from anyone in a tailored suit.

So when weapons developer Ben Rennick hires her to stress-test a classified military platform, she expects controlled detonations and a clean payout.

Instead, she flies into an ambush.

The pirates aren't pirates. The test isn't a test.

And the technology she's piloting may be the spark that turns a quiet setup into a sector-wide war meant to look accidental.

Now Tracy is caught between a weapons program spiraling out of control and the man who built it. With a young engineer who knows too much at her side and corporate interests closing ranks, she has one option left: expose the protocol before it turns a "field exercise" into open conflict.

Because sometimes survival isn't about landing.

It's about who survives the impact.

Tracy Fire: Crossfire Protocol is a high-stakes sci-fi action thriller featuring razor-sharp dialogue, escalating firepower, and a heroine who refuses to be weaponized.
