They followed orders. They risked their lives. Then the system erased them.

In a covert desert operation gone wrong, an elite special forces unit finds themselves not only stranded behind enemy lines—but wiped from existence. No dog tags. No records. No rescue.

Their mission was part of a classified government program: Project REMAIN—a contingency that erases all digital, legal, and personal traces of a soldier in case of operational failure. It's not exile. It's annihilation. Identity. History. Name. Gone.

Now hunted by the very powers they once served, these soldiers must navigate a war zone where every ally is a threat, and every signal could be a trap. As they piece together the truth behind the mission that destroyed them, they face a darker enemy: the fear of becoming nothing.

In the shadows of betrayal and silence, loyalty fractures, trust corrodes, and survival becomes a moral battlefield.

Part I: Erasure is the gripping first installment of Remain: Ghost Soldiers, a psychological military thriller packed with tension, tactical realism, and haunting emotional depth.
Perfect for readers who love:

Some missions are classified.
This one was designed to disappear you.

But the forgotten don't always stay dead.
And some ghosts... refuse to vanish.
