Subversion Protocol

Book One — Black Signal

In Neo-London, the Dominion doesn't just control the present. It erases the past. Memory is engineered. History is rewritten. And anyone who remembers the truth is made to disappear — until there's no one left who knows what was lost.

ConOps21 is a twelve-book dystopian techno-thriller series following Cipher Reeve, the one man the system failed to kill, as he carries something inside him no surveillance state can afford to let survive: the Black Signal — a buried consciousness built from the minds of everyone the regime erased.

Dark, relentless, and built for readers who want their thrillers to cost something.

The quiet war over who gets to remember.

DC Davies writes dystopian techno-thrillers about memory, surveillance, and the quiet war over who gets to remember the truth. The ConOps21 series — twelve books tracking the fall of a world that replaced history with compliance — began as a single image: a man waking up in a morgue drawer, carrying something inside him the state thought it had erased.

Davies lives in Wisconsin and writes under ACME Book Company™, an imprint of Reality String™ LLC. When not writing the novels, he builds the ARG that runs alongside them — an eleven-site transmedia network where readers who look closely enough can find the fragments the books can't show them.

The signal is just beginning.
