PROFILE

Jake Darst writes technothrillers at the intersection of emerging technology, covert operations, and advanced physics.

---

BACKGROUND

Before turning to fiction, Jake spent more than a decade working in radiation physics with advanced instrumentation, where particle beams, precision measurement, and rigorous safety protocols are part of everyday work. Jake also maintains close ties to members of the special operations community.

---

PROJECT RIFT

That background informs the Project Rift series, which explores the consequences when classified science escapes the laboratory and becomes a strategic asset.

Operational elements in Project Rift were reviewed by friends who are current or former members of the special operations community to ensure the tactics, procedures, and culture reflect the realities of that world.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Some of the science in these stories is real.
Some is speculative.

But the research behind it is rigorous.
