Dagger Squadron

The world is at war—but humanity is not alone.

As the Dragon Empire expands across a fractured globe, the Unified Military Command assembles Dagger Squadron, an elite, multinational unit meant to symbolize unity, hope, and victory. To the public, they are heroes. To their commander, Major Kasey Collins, they are something far more dangerous: a weapon aimed at the heart of the enemy.

Drawn from across the world, Dagger Squadron’s pilots include celebrities and outcasts, loyalists and defectors—all brilliant, haunted, and carrying the weight of impossible choices. Thrown into a brutal campaign of air combat, covert operations, and media-driven warfare, they begin to sense that the conflict they are fighting is not entirely their own. Ancient alien powers—the serene and manipulative Annaki, and the predatory, hidden Naga—have shaped humanity’s rise, and now control its future.

Caught between obedience and conscience, faith and reason, survival and honor, the pilots of DAGGER SQUADRON must decide what they are willing to bow to—and what they are willing to fight for. In a war where even salvation has a price, the greatest danger may be trusting those who claim to be humanity’s guardians.
