'We won the Great War on biscuits, pennies, and math. Then we burned the receipts.'August 1916. The Somme. 19,240 British dead in one day.In a damp Cambridge basement, Dr. Arthur Eddington makes a discovery that will change the war-and the world. Shell-shocked soldiers, fed a diet of 5,800 calories a day and surrounded by copper coils, can bend probability by 0.3%. Enough to jam a machine gun. Enough to stop a tank. Enough to win a war.The War Office creates the 'Talent Corps': 311 broken men who are weaponized not with rifles, but with arithmetic. Their battlefield is the human mind. Their currency is biscuits. Their cost is their lives.From the carnage of the Somme to the mud of Passchendaele, from the miracle of Vimy Ridge to the secret that ended the war at 11:00 AM on November 11, 1918, The Somme Protocol is the untold story of the men who won the Great War with mathematics.But victory came at a price. 311 men trained. 311 men lost. And when the war ended, the files were sealed, the witnesses silenced, and the truth buried under the Official Secrets Act.Until now.Based on real history. Built on real physics. And terrifyingly, brilliantly plausible.Perfect for fans of The Things They Carried, The Man in the High Castle, and Oppenheimer.Book 1 of The Caloric Wars
