Project Lightweight - Paperback

From author E.A. Petersen comes Project Lightweight, the long-awaited fifth installment in The Saga of Cliff Marks series - a high-stakes thriller where science, power, and loyalty collide on a global stage.

When Syntil Corporation's research and development division uncovers a discovery of unparalleled power, the scientific and medical communities are thrown into upheaval. The breakthrough promises to reshape the world...but at what cost? As governments and agencies maneuver to control its implications, the delicate alliance between Syntil and the CIA begins to strain under mounting pressure, complicated further by Gloria's deepening ties to the intelligence world.

Having stepped away from politics, Cliff Marks embarks on a perilous geological expedition to secure the rare earth elements critical to the nation's future. Meanwhile, new candidates enter The Circle to inherit the far-reaching and lucrative responsibilities he once commanded, with two of his most devoted protégés sacrificing their former lives in service to Syntil's mission of national betterment.

Across the globe, President Aragon stands shoulder to shoulder with combat Marines as they journey overseas to bring home the fallen and wounded heroes after a devastating attack on a US Embassy - an act that threatens to ignite international consequences.

As the world edges toward uncertainty, one question looms above all: What will President Aragon reveal about Dellard Scott's astonishing discovery? What unexpected new role will Cliff Marks embrace in the storm to come?

In Project Lightweight, ambition meets sacrifice, secrets carry global weight, and the future of a nation hangs in the balance.
