Tribute Protocol

Earth thought it was negotiating for peace. It was really arranging its own servitude. When Earth's leaders signed the Astri's tribute accords, they called it diplomacy. They called it survival. But behind closed doors, the price was always blood. For years, the truth stayed buried—abductions, human trafficking, entire cities erased under the banner of "interstellar cooperation." Now, an unassuming civilian envoy is dispatched to negotiate Earth's future, only to discover humanity's fate was sold long before the talks began. Imprisoned aboard a monstrous alien warship, forced to witness atrocities sanitized by bureaucracy, one thing becomes horrifyingly clear: the Astri don't want allies. They want livestock. But silence is no longer an option. Hunted by his own government, betrayed by the leaders he once swore to represent, this reluctant diplomat becomes the voice of Earth's last stand. The first shot in humanity's rebellion… is a testimony. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, District 9, and Rogue One, Tribute Protocol is a brutal, high-stakes sci-fi thriller where political lies are deadlier than alien guns—and truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.
