BLACK BUDGET BOOKS

At the dawn of the 21st century, the secretive Dragon's Egg syndicate seizes the promise of the Human Genome Project to launch their most audacious experiment yet: C.H.R.O.M.E., an off-books operation intended to resurrect the genius—and ghosts—of history's most remarkable (and dangerous) leaders by cloning their DNA and implanting encoded memories in new children.

For decades, these living echoes have grown in the shadows: a rising athlete blessed with Lincoln's empathy, a fierce female war prodigy channeling Alexander the Great, a podcast provocateur brimming with Napoleon's ambition, a boy marked by Charles Manson's allure and a terrible, catalytic effect, and a lost soul bred from Hitler's tissue, fashioned into a living weapon.

As the clones awaken to their origins, forming found-family bonds across lines of history, corporations and governments scramble to determine their fate—property or people? The fight for personhood just became a war.

The clones are out. The world knows. Now the exploitation begins—in stadiums, on screens, and behind closed doors. The fight for personhood just became a war.

Book Two expands the battlefield as Dragon's Egg reveals its endgame: weaponizing history's greatest athletes and entertainers. From sports arenas to Hollywood sets, the clones face a new horror—being bought, sold, and used as living commodities in a world that refuses to see them as human.

The final chapter. Every thread. Every betrayal. Every son. It all ends here.

Solid. Liquid. Gas. Plasma.

We live in the first three states of matter. They live in all four.

Islamic cosmology speaks of three creations: angels formed from light, humans shaped from clay, and djinn born from smokeless fire. For centuries, the West dismissed them as mythology—demons, spirits, folklore.

They were wrong.

For thirty years, a covert US program has known the truth. Plasma-based entities exist alongside humanity, conscious and intelligent, inhabiting the electromagnetic spectrum beyond our perception. Most people never see them. A few can. Those few become assets.

When a black ops operative returns from a mission to find his program gutted, his handler dead, and new leadership in control, he faces an impossible choice: follow orders in a war most of humanity doesn't know exists, or commit treason to stop something far worse than anyone imagined.

The fourth state of matter. The other reality. And a door that should never have been opened.
