The orders are clear. Who to trust is another matter.

USS Leviathan is back at sea, carrying the world’s most unconventional air wing toward a mission with consequences far beyond the battlefield. This time, Commander John “Fridge” Sando and the Wet Venoms must deliver the impossible.

For Fridge, the responsibility is personal. Every pilot he launches is someone he may have to fight to bring home. But as the tasking unfolds, troubling questions follow them into the cockpit. Orders demand scrutiny. Loyalties come under strain. And the people holding the clearest picture may have the most to hide.

With time running short and the stakes climbing, CVW-0 faces a threat that speed, firepower, and ingenuity alone cannot defeat. Somewhere between the mission they were given and the truth they need, betrayal becomes treason—and following orders could prove as dangerous as defying them.

Strap in for Venom Protocol, the third installment in the Deep Scythe series: a relentless ride through high-stakes aerial combat, divided loyalties, and the fierce brotherhood of men who refuse to leave their own behind.

The Wet Venoms are up.
Everyone else is counting on them.
