The Lumin Intercept is the first in a series of sci-fi spy-fi thrillers.
HATCH/5, the Seattle branch of a secretive global security program, has been tracking an agent from an unidentified organization. After visiting several advanced research labs, his trail abruptly terminates. His final messages suggest a violent end, a package in the wind, and a cryptic reference to something—or someone—known only as Lumin.
Enter Enzo Sutton, a clever and ruthless operative looking to prove himself. Pursuing the package, he will face his toughest adversary yet, his own father. Also on the case is field investigator Kate Rains whose gift for connecting the dots sometimes threatens to unravel her own sanity. Drawn into a cruel trap with disturbing links to her past, she uncovers a shocking and otherworldly plot.
