The Deafening Silence: Volume I: World at War Aaron Mesch

Espionage & Convert Liaison for International Peace, Space, & Equity (ECLIPSE) agent Frank Stevens had his work cut out for him. Pat Islands, a string of islands in the South Pacific, belongs to the Patrick Empire, an organization with economic and military power equal to that of the United States. A representative of the secret service, Stevens is charged with helping keep peace throughout the world and protecting the Pat Islands' interests.

A terrorist leader known only as Patriarch pays an extremist group to overthrow the government of Brazil, and then mass-produces war machines, plans for world domination, and creates his prized Blue Army, a group ready to wreak destruction. Receiving covert, undetected help, Patriarch's control increases exponentially across the globe.

It's up to Stevens and some other hand-selected agents to infiltrate the jungles of Brazil and destroy a satellite dish, thus disrupting the Blue Army's global communications network, in order to buy enough time for the allies to attack a disorganized enemy and save the world from nuclear war. They have to act fast when they discover that the satellite was created to communicate with violent beings from another world. Stevens and his crew must fight Patriarch's army, alien enemies, and The Deafening Silence.
