Glass Fortress: Some Things Were Never Meant To Be Deleted (Project Sovereign)

They came for the data first. Then for the blood. Then for what makes the Kyloka Nation who they are.Fourteen months after stopping a corporate raid that nearly erased his tribe from the digital map, IT Director David Kovac is racing to finish Project Silica: a backup of the Kyloka Nation's entire identity etched into a block of glass that cannot be burned, hacked, or erased. A thousand-year archive, built inside a mountain, designed to outlive the systems that would deny his people exist.But the clock is ticking. Quantum cryptography is about to break every form of digital security on Earth, and the Kyloka have a smaller window than anyone realizes. Worse, a biotech corporation with a curated vision of which humans deserve preservation has set its sights on something far more valuable than the tribe's land or water.They want the tribe's blood.When mercenaries arrive in federal uniforms. When litigation buries truth under shell companies. When the home you trust becomes your prison. When the battle moves from servers to DNA, from encryption to the very genetic code that makes people who they are. The Kyloka Nation will discover what it is willing to sacrifice to remain who they are.A nurse poisons a corporate database with fifty gigabytes of ghost DNA to protect her people's heritage. An IT director refuses to open his mouth for a federal swab because he understands that his saliva is his sovereignty. An administrator flies to Washington with a three-inch binder of perfect compliance and is told by an aide half her age that it isn't enough.Some things were never meant to be deleted.Glass Fortress is the second book in the Project Sovereign trilogy; a near-future techno-thriller about quantum computing, genetic data as currency, and a tribal nation that refuses to rent its own survival.
