DEAD COLD REPUBLIC: CODE BLACK By Andre Heard A war hero. A covert mission. A republic hanging by a thread. When a disillusioned military veteran is pulled back into a world of black ops and backroom politics, he uncovers a shadow government orchestrating chaos from the inside. With the nation unraveling and trust in leadership shattered, Dead Cold Republic: Code Black weaves a chilling, high-stakes narrative of betrayal, cyber warfare, and unrelenting vengeance. This gripping political thriller follows a haunted protagonist whose past in special operations collides with a volatile present. As he navigates a tangled web of espionage, secret agendas, and high-tech surveillance, he must confront not only the ghosts of war, but the terrifying reality of a nation being reprogrammed from the inside out. Tautly written and deeply resonant, Code Black is a razor-sharp look into the shadows of power, where truth is weaponized and justice has a body count. For fans of Tom Clancy, Jason Bourne, and Black Mirror, this explosive debut marks the rise of a bold new voice in literary thrillers. The republic is cold. The code is black. And no one is safe.
