Publisher's summary

The final skull has been found. Now, all hell's breaking loose.

For 2,000 years, the Triarii have protected us, influencing history from the Crusades to the discovery of America. Descending from the Roman Empire, they pervade every level of society and are now in a race with our own government to retrieve an ancient artifact thought to have been lost forever.

Caught in the middle is archaeology professor James Acton, relentlessly hunted by the elite Delta Force, under orders to stop at nothing to possess what he has found, and the Triarii, equally determined to prevent the discovery from falling into the wrong hands.

With his students and friends dying around him, Acton flees to find the one person who might be able to help him, but little does he know he may actually be racing directly into the hands of an organization he knows nothing about.

From USA Today and million copy best-selling author J. Robert Kennedy comes The Protocol, the first entry in an action-packed, globe-spanning series of thrillers certain to leave you breathless.

If you enjoy fast-paced adventures in the style of Dan Brown, Clive Cussler, and James Rollins, then you’ll love this taut tale of archaeological suspense.

Get The Protocol now, and dig up a thriller 2,000 years in the making....

guttural, shocking action

The action begins early and doesn't let up until the very end. this would make an interesting movie. the backstory within the main story is intriguing and keeps one second-guessing what and why certain characters live or die. but that is also what keeps the listener engaged. RC Bray is unmatched in his ability to keep the listener enthralled.

Great start to a new series!

I’m always on the hunt for action books that hook me almost from the start, with plenty of action and intrigue. This book, “The Protocol”, ticked all the boxes for me. Action overlaid with historical mysteries! A++ Recommended!

unbelievable story

RC Bray did great, story was just a bit too far fetched. Many parts of the story just seem way to unrealistic. Too many times during it I was left shaking my head.
