The Arctic Protocol - Harper Law;Callaghan Publications

THE ARCTIC PROTOCOL is a high-stakes geo-political thriller set in the rapidly melting Arctic, where climate change, military power, and indigenous survival collide in a dangerous new struggle for control. When CIA investigator Hans Adler is sent to Alaska to document escalating Arctic resource conflicts, he expects to observe environmental decline and rising tensions. Instead, he arrives to find a region on the brink of geopolitical confrontation.

Foreign industrial fishing fleets, covert military surveillance operations, and disputed territorial waters are quietly pushing global powers toward conflict while indigenous communities face the slow erosion of their culture and livelihoods. What begins as an environmental investigation quickly becomes something far more complex and far more dangerous.

Guided by marine biologist Sarah Kaleak and Iñupiaq expert Tommy Anaktuvuk, Hans uncovers a shadow network of illegal Arctic fishing, secret Northern Fleet maneuvers, and a strategic race for control between Russia, China, and the United States. As melting sea ice, climate-driven migration, and collapsing marine ecosystems destabilize long-standing treaties, governments begin positioning themselves to seize the Arctic's last untapped resources.

But the people who have lived in the region for over 10,000 years are now caught directly in the crossfire.

Racing from Utqiaġvik to the central Arctic "donut hole," Hans must expose the truth before a single aggressive move turns a fragile resource dispute into a global crisis.

The Arctic Protocol blends geo-strategy, environmental suspense, indigenous rights, and rising military tension into a gripping thriller that feels chillingly real - because much of it already is.
