The Deniables is a spy thriller series by James and Lance Morcan. The first book, The Dogon Initiative (2019), centers on a team of covert operatives whose missions are disavowed by their own government. The story draws on the Dogon people of Mali and their traditional astronomical knowledge, mixing real anthropological mystery with fictional espionage.
Readers familiar with the Morcans’ Orphan Trilogy will recognize the blend of action, conspiracy, and references to real-world fringe topics. The Deniables operates in a similar space, with fast-paced plotting and characters who operate outside official channels. The series builds on the themes of secrecy and hidden knowledge that run through most of the Morcans’ fiction and nonfiction work.
