In The God Protocol: Dragon by D. L. Wilburn Jr., John works for DHS and knows that a more extreme Cold War is coming. He is pleased to know that the new satellites will deliver 5G across the world as well as Global Shock. Dr. Berzing reports the potential collision course of several space objects headed toward the edge of the galaxy to NASA. The United States and China are supposedly working together to make first contact, but some believe that both countries are keeping secrets that could cause serious problems later. George runs an internet show where he gives the news headlines an angle of conspiracy that keeps his followers entertained and thinking about what might really be going on behind the scenes. As theories prove to be much more than simple conspiracies, George realizes that his show could cost him more than he anticipated, maybe even his life.
The slowly revealed truth about conspiracy theories and the way the characters backed up each idea with believable context rounded out the well-thought-out plot. This story is unique and has an air of mystery that kept me reading until I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I have no doubt that future readers won’t be able to put it down either. I liked that this story is not extremely fast-paced but delivers key events and points without feeling overdone or rushed. I recommend The God Protocol: Dragon by D. L. Wilburn Jr. to anyone who enjoys a suspenseful story that twists the things we thought we knew into something new and exciting. I hope to read more from this talented writer.
