She trusted the system to tell her the truth.
The system had been taught to lie.
CIA analyst Maya Zhao and NSA cryptographer Dr. Ethan Cross are three days into a quiet European getaway when a single encrypted message ends it. Their director has been suspended - neutralized by an investigation built from the inside, by someone close enough to know exactly where to strike.
With no task force, no institutional backing, and a mole hiding somewhere inside the highest levels of American intelligence, Maya and Ethan race across four countries to find the one man who can expose the truth: a terrified financial architect who helped build something no one was supposed to find - a four-year operation that has quietly taught the West's most trusted intelligence systems to look the other way.
Every assessment. Every threat rating. Every decision built on data that was never as clean as it looked.
As the walls close in, Maya and Ethan discover that the person feeding their enemy's network may be someone who has sat three desks from their director for years - and that exposing him means surviving long enough to prove it, before the corrupted system produces one catastrophic decision the world will never be able to take back.
The fifth novel in the Maya Zhao & Ethan Cross series, The Alignment Protocol is a high-stakes thriller about trust, betrayal, and the terrifying gap between what our systems tell us and what's actually true.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
