Commander John Barsetti, a decorated military intelligence officer, survives a covert mission—only to discover he was never meant to come back. Used as a disposable pawn in a shadow war he doesn't understand, he's paraded before Congress in a high‑stakes, stage‑managed hearing where he's promised the chance to tell the truth. Watching the telecast from a waiting room, Barsetti realizes too late that he's not a witness, he's the scapegoat—and his harrowing escape is the only thing that keeps him alive. Vanishing off the grid, he stays hidden for thirty‑seven years while the powers that burned him tighten their grip on reality itself. When they finally find him, he unexpectedly turns the tables and comes after them. Death of the Hummingbird is a tense political thriller about a hunted man trapped in a world of manufactured truth, political theater, and weaponized morality—where honor may be his greatest strength, but also the fatal flaw that could lead him to become exactly what he was fighting against.
