When a rogue experiment known as Project Ogre goes dark, U.S. Marshal Laila Wright is called to track a missing soldier who was part of the program. What begins as a manhunt quickly spirals into something far more deadlier-an unraveling cover up involving enhanced human prototypes, unauthorized military research and a kill list that now includes her team. Partnered with the fiercely intelligent Carolyn Pryme, Laila must navigate a tangled web of shadow operations, treasonous insiders and a morally gray allies. Together, they confront not only the physical monsters bred in secret labs, but also the institutional rot that allows such monsters to exist. With brutal firefights, tactical infiltration and the heart of a wounded warrior seeking redemption, The Ogre Directive redefines the law-enforcement thriller for a post truth world. As the line between human and weapon blurs, only one truth remains: some directives should never be followed.
