Dark Horizon - Keith Barton

Dark Horizon

Former Marine aviator and drone pilot Jason Crowe left conflict behind to build a quiet life mapping the rugged terrain along the Texas border. Far removed from politics and bureaucracy, he spends his days flying survey missions and collecting aerial data for local clients.

Everything changes when Jason begins noticing anomalies hidden within his flight records.

What starts as a routine investigation uncovers a sophisticated smuggling operation unlike anything law enforcement has encountered. Autonomous cargo drones. Radar-evading technology. A network capable of moving far more than drugs across the border-without anyone ever seeing it.

As Jason digs deeper, he finds himself caught between ruthless criminals, advancing technology, and a conspiracy determined to remain invisible.

The hunter has become the hunted.

Dark Horizon is a fast-paced techno-thriller that blends emerging drone technology, military realism, and modern border security into a suspenseful story where one discovery could change everything.
