Helix Ascendant: Book 2 of the Provenance Series

After exposing a covert network manipulating strategic materials and global supply chains, Dr. Emily Boone and Commander Jackson Thorensen believed they had disrupted the architecture behind the conspiracy.Instead, they revealed something far more dangerous.Helix.A distributed strategic network operating beneath the foundations of modern civilization itself.As infrastructure anomalies spread across continents and governments quietly struggle to understand a threat they cannot fully define, OBSIDIAN REACH, a compartmented multinational intelligence task force formed to investigate Helix, uncovers a terrifying reality: the organization does not rely on armies, borders, or political ideology. Its power flows through the systems the modern world depends upon every day: logistics, telecommunications, energy distribution, financial coordination, and the strategic materials essential to advanced technology and military dominance.And somewhere inside that architecture, Helix is already adapting faster than nations can respond.From covert facilities buried beneath frozen mountains to classified intelligence briefings deep inside Washington, Helix Ascendant expands the Provenance series into a high-stakes geopolitical techno-thriller where sovereignty, continuity, and civilization itself hang in the balance.As governments confront the possibility that modern society has become dangerously dependent on systems they no longer fully control, Jackson and Emily find themselves pulled deeper into a conflict where the greatest threat is not open war, but quiet systemic leverage operating invisibly beneath everyday life.Helix Ascendant is a gripping exploration of hidden systems, strategic power, and the fragile dependencies shaping the modern world.
