The Vance Protocol

The Serean Cascade Book 1 · A.R. Froese · Kindle

In Reclamation Zone Delta, silence is survival.

For decades, order has been enforced not by law, but by The Hum — a sonic dampener that crushes possibility and locks humanity into the ‘Alpha State’, a single, predetermined timeline.

Cillian, a low-level operative, is the first in decades to witness the Protocol’s catastrophic failure. When he sees a ghost — a fractured reflection of impossible time — he becomes a fugitive in a world that doesn’t allow for errors.

Driven underground into the forgotten Elara Sub-Level Archive, Cillian discovers the true nature of the Protocol: it is a prison designed to suppress Dissonance, the ability to see the loops of alternative realities.

Guided by the desperate broadcasts of the elusive Elara, the living embodiment of chaos, Cillian must journey into the temporal anarchy of ‘The Echo’ to find the mythical Tachyon Key. His mission: to introduce an unresolvable variable into the Protocol’s core, break the stasis, and grant the world back its most dangerous weapon: free will.

But in a battle for the very fabric of existence, is chaos truly better than certainty?

Protocol Drift

The Serean Cascade Book 2 · A.R. Froese · Kindle

The Protocol didn’t break. It evolved.

Four months ago, Cillian failed the 72-hour delivery window. The world didn’t end—it just stopped making sense.

The “Protocol Drift” has begun. Now, the Hum vibrates in the earth, the Echo weaponizes collective anxiety, and the Shimmer rewrites physics in real-time. The stability Cillian fought to protect is gone, replaced by a terrifying new reality where time loops, psychic noise, and shifting geography are the new normal.

Marked as a fugitive and haunted by the ghost of his own failure, Cillian and his team must race across a fractured globe—from the psychic cacophony of Tokyo to the frozen silence of the Yukon—to find the Architect’s final fail-safes. But they aren’t alone. Ember, a lethal agent of the new order, is hunting them, using the very chaos they unleashed to track their every move.

To defeat the Architect, Cillian must stop running from his guilt and embrace the one thing the system cannot calculate: The Extinction Variable.

He is no longer just a Regulator. He is the glitch that will bring the whole system down.

The laws of physics are gone. The war for reality has begun.
