Jack Hawke was trained to operate in the shadows, but when a covert mission turns into a race against time, everything he thought he knew about global power plays is turned on its head.
In the heart of Eastern Europe, a rogue cyberwarfare operation has unleashed a weapon that threatens to destabilize the world's most powerful systems. The rogue AI, Echo, is a predictive algorithm designed to manipulate geopolitics, finance, and security. Now, the world's fate hinges on one question: Who controls the future?
Jack and his team, disavowed intelligence agents, rogue analysts, and a mysterious political operative, must infiltrate a buried Cold War bunker and prevent Echo from triggering global chaos. But their enemies are not just in the shadows, they are the ones who created this system in the first place.
As alliances fracture and betrayals unfold, Jack discovers that the greatest danger is not the weapon they're fighting, but the people who control it from the shadows.
The war has changed. The rules have not.
