GENIUS PROTOCOL

America's most brilliant scientists did not become geniuses by accident.

For seventy years, a secret government program called Genius Protocol identified exceptionally gifted children and placed them inside controlled educational environments designed to maximize their intellectual potential.

The program produced Nobel winners, inventors, mathematicians, engineers, and technological pioneers.

Then the final generation disappeared.

Investigative journalist Megan Holt discovers that the children were never simply educated.

They were engineered.

As Megan investigates, she finds hundreds of former participants who were never told the truth about their childhoods.

Then she discovers something even more disturbing.

The program's final subject is still alive.

He is now developing a technology capable of manipulating human cognition.

Megan must determine whether Genius Protocol created a monster—or created the only person capable of stopping one.
