For over two decades, K5 protocol level agent Flint Maddox had run successful missions for IDNT Corp, until recently when a band of Vekonis aliens ambushed his last mission and changed everything. Apart from being the only survivor of the attack, Flint was too injured to be taken back onboard as an IDNT agent. His contract was terminated and he was traded off to Earth’s Settlement Bureau, Peacekeeper Division, as a Galactic Marshal for the planet Anterra. But then, the Vekonis, a race of savage aliens, raid Anterra, killing Flint’s best friend Daniel Stranton, and abducting his daughter Sofi, and others. It soon becomes apparent that the Vekonis were on an abduction spree for children as more planets in the Brebosie system, the home of Anterra, are raided. In a bid to rescue his goddaughter and the other abducted children, Flint goes in pursuit of the Vekonis with a few androids and an army of four races from the Breboise system. With the fate of hundreds of children’s lives in his hands, does Flint have any room for error? Find out in Andria Stone’s The K5 Protocol.
