INTRUSION CODE - LA Bayles;Boyd Craven Jr.;Rick Tippins

A missing child. A haunted Navy SEAL. A secret powerful enough to rewrite the rules of reality.

When eight-year-old Lizzy vanished without a trace, the only witness-her best friend Max-was found alone in the woods, disoriented and unable to explain what happened.

Two decades later, Max Dregar is a former Navy SEAL and covert CIA operator broken by war and buried in guilt. Combat numbs the pain. Whiskey dulls the edges.

But when a reclusive tech savant appears with classified data and a theory too disturbing to ignore, Max is dragged into a world that reopens every wound he thought he'd buried.

Now, he must confront the shadows that have stalked him since childhood-grief, guilt, and the terrifying possibility that what happened to Lizzy was only the beginning. As the past claws its way into the present, Max is forced to go where no sane man would, face what no warrior ever should, and cross lines that cannot be uncrossed.

What he finds will shatter everything he thought he knew-about Lizzy, about himself, and about the world.
