The Atlantis Gene is the first of a 3 part series that gets more absurd and out there with every passing chapter. It's basically what would happen if Shyamalan wrote a book and attempted to include a plot twist every 3-4 chapters.
Hope Never Dies: An Obama Biden Mystery (Obama Biden Mysteries Book 1)
>Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama team up in this high-stakes thriller that combines a mystery worthy of Watson and Holmes with the laugh-out-loud bromantic chemistry of Lethal Weapon’s Murtaugh and Riggs.
>Vice President Joe Biden is fresh out of the Obama White House and feeling adrift when his favorite railroad conductor dies in a suspicious accident, leaving behind an ailing wife and a trail of clues. To unravel the mystery, “Amtrak Joe” re-teams with the only man he’s ever fully trusted: the 44th president of the United States. Together they’ll plumb the darkest corners of Delaware, traveling from cheap motels to biker bars and beyond, as they uncover the sinister forces advancing America’s opioid epidemic.
>Part noir thriller and part bromance, Hope Never Dies is essentially the first published work of Obama/Biden fiction—and a cathartic read for anyone distressed by the current state of affairs.

If anyone is doing some holiday shopping and wants to "school some special snowflakes in the not-so-liberal art of war"
This is quite a wild fan fic you have wrote.
It's like I'm reading an excerpt from https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077X12YNG/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
Published a decade ago. The author has an extensive IT background. The basic premise was plausible then, imagine how much further we’ve advanced since. Kill Decision https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073XV2W2/
Shibumi: A Novel by Trevanian
"A classic spy novel from the bestselling author, Trevanian, about a westerner raised in Japan who becomes one of the world's most accomplished assassins."
"Nicholai Hel is the world’s most wanted man. Born in Shanghai during the chaos of World War I, he is the son of an aristocratic Russian mother and a mysterious German father and is the protégé of a Japanese Go master. Hel survived the destruction of Hiroshima to emerge as the world’s most artful lover and its most accomplished—and well-paid—assassin. Hel is a genius, a mystic, and a master of language and culture, and his secret is his determination to attain a rare kind of personal excellence, a state of effortless perfection known only as shibumi."
"Now living in an isolated mountain fortress with his exquisite mistress, Hel is unwillingly drawn back into the life he’d tried to leave behind when a beautiful young stranger arrives at his door, seeking help and refuge. It soon becomes clear that Hel is being tracked by his most sinister enemy—a supermonolith of international espionage known only as the Mother Company. The battle lines are drawn: ruthless power and corruption on one side, and on the other . . . shibumi."
The Laundry Files by Charles Stross is about a top-secret British intelligence agency charged with managing all things supernatural.
The sci-fi twist is that magic is basically applied math, and as computing becomes more ubiquitous, more and more stuff starts leaking over.
Think a joke-cracking IT professional evolving into James Bond as he fights the supernatural, and you've got The Laundry Files.
Oh man, this book looks amazing. It appears to be a thriller written by a machine learning bot fed Fox News stories.
I've noticed a lot of these people view the world as just one big hierarchy where there has to be someone holding power over another at all times. When they hear someone say they don't like the country and want to make it better for minorities, women, LGBT people, etc. they think it means those people want to take control of the top spot on the hierarchy, which means straight white cis dudes with old fashioned values get kicked to the bottom.
From personal experience on a smaller scale, I see this a lot in the pro writing community. There's always complaining that publishers wanting diverse casts and diverse authors means straight white guys have no chance to tell their stories, but this unironic right wing power fantasy got published by an actual company and made money. POC and LGBT stories/authors being picked up more often doesn't mean there aren't any opportunities for everyone else. It just means they lost their unfair advantage now that all stories are being told. That's a pretty good metaphor for the liberal view of equality I guess.
If the Silo series didn’t catch you but one second after did, look into the Perseus Collapse. I liked it quite a bit even if the main characters might be in the wrong in your eyes. I had people say they aren’t likable and I can appreciate that.
Another is Franklin Horton’s “Borrowed World” series about a man trying to make it home after an EMP type event.
Another is a series written by an author with the pseudonym of “A. American” which is similar to Horton’s books in scope and event. This series is eerie in that the administration uses DHS in a similar way that the Trump administration in today. A couple years ago I would have labeled this concept as “prepper sci-fi”. Today it feels like unsettling.
Bob Howard from Capital Laundry Services shows up, the books are confiscated and everyone forgets it happened. This probably kicks off an interesting adventure involving time travel, where we learn that the Deep Ones actually opened the first book store some time during the mid-paleolithic.
Charlie Stross's Laundry series. Sci-Fi -> Lovecraftian Fantasy in an action/spy thriller framework.
Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan saga.
Here is your reading assignment It's actually a really good novel if you're interested in AI.
Anyone ever read The Atlantis Gene series? It's fictional but has a lot of these theories in it about Antarctica and the global elite and ancient beings. Fun read. https://www.amazon.ca/Atlantis-Gene-Thriller-Origin-Mystery-ebook/dp/B00C2WDD5I
Anything is possible. But the "barrier" to success is no less in self-publishing than traditional publishing. People don't view SP works any differently.
In fact, it's probably harder to succeed in SP as you don't have all the resources of traditional publishing. Hence why a lot of SP novels tank because they are poorly written and produced. Very few people have the skills (or money to acquire things like editing services) to really have a shot at SP.
Also, like anything, it will take a while (years) to build a reader base, that's assuming you are really good.
But the #3 book overall in the Amazon store is self-published I believe.
With 12,000 reviews it's likely sold over a million copies. Safe to say the author has likely made millions.
In summary: Possible? Yes. Easy? No.
This is the premise of Daniel Suarez's book Influx Check it out. It's good, but not as good as Daemon and Freedom, those are great.
Read The Perseid Collapse series and get ready for all the refugees to come and make life miserable.
This is a good trilogy. It is a thriller and some sci-fi throw in.
I'm a big fan of all the books you've listed, so I'll mention a book that I would probably include in a list of favorites alongside those you've already mentioned - the Rook, by Daniel O'Malley,
It has an extremely likable main character, probably my favorite female protagonist in the genre. The book centers around an organization that protects the world from supernatural threats and is mostly staffed by people with various supernatural abilities. Not a super original-sounding premise, but it's done really well. The main character is a fairly high-ranking bureaucrat in that organization who has just had her memory erased at the start of the book. She left herself copious notes about the organization and about her own life, but a lot of the humor comes from the main character stumbling around trying not to let on that she has no idea what's going on. There's a really fun dynamic between the current main character and her relationship with her former self via the notes left behind. I've only read this one, though, so I don't how the audio itself is.
Others you should definitely read if you haven't already (though I suspect you may have) include Sanderson's Way of Kings and Sullivan's Riyria Revelations.
Much of Trevanian's novel Shibumi is set in the Basque country of Spain. One of my favorite spy thrillers.
The great thing about Trevanian is you never know exactly if he's putting you on.
