When the US assassinates Iranian Qods Force Commander General Soleimani, elite CIA case officer Victoria “Vicˮ OʼBannon finds her entire network in jeopardy from a spy hunt by Iran's vaunted Revolutionary Guards.
As Vic navigates this treacherous landscape to protect her assets, she uncovers a devastating plot, forcing her into a desperate race to identify and stop an Iranian deep-cover sleeper agent before he can unleash catastrophe on US soil.
- 'Second Protocol' -
CIA officer Victoria “Vicˮ OʼBannon is sent on a high-stakes undercover mission to Tehran to stop Iran and China from building a revolutionary cyberweapon.
Posing as a third-country diplomat, she must handle a disillusioned Chinese spy while navigating a labyrinth of local resistance fighters, ruthless regime enforcers, and her own personal demons. As alliances shift and betrayals mount, Vic finds that the deadliest threat may not be the weapon, but the secrets sheʼs forced to keep.
- 'Beirut Down' -
In the aftermath of a major defeat by Israel in the 12-day war, and the collapse of its vaunted proxy strategy, Iran seeks revenge by undermining a perennially vulnerable Lebanon.
Lebanon’s government begins to unravel under pressure from Iranian ‘little green men’, staging assassinations and rebellion under the guise of sectarian conflict. Meanwhile, China leverages U.S. distraction on the world stage to support Iran.
Caught up in the chaos while visiting his wife’s family in the Lebanese Christian enclave of Batroun, newly retired CIA officer Mike Lambaugh is on the run and sought by a vicious Iranian IRGC intelligence officer who holds hostage his wife, offering to trade her in exchange for CIA secrets.
Mike frantically calls on his protégé, CIA officer Victoria “Vic” O’Bannon, for help. Against direct orders, she travels to Lebanon in a desperate attempt to rescue Neda, and her mentor, while preserving CIA’s most sensitive secrets.
