Skull Island eXpeditions ventures into a gritty near future this spring with The Judas Protocol. This novel is a prequel to the events chronicled in the critically acclaimed tactical miniatures–based board game LEVEL 7 [Omega Protocol], which was hailed as one of the best board game releases of 2013. Penning The Judas Protocol is Scribe Award–winning author Nathan Meyer, a U.S. Army veteran who has written a dozen novels across three action-adventure series, including titles for the popular Mack Bolan books. The Judas Protocol follows Disco Team, a team of elite commandos, as they find themselves in the middle of a conflict between two alien factions, with the fate of the Earth hanging in the balance.
