A nun flying out of an airlock isn’t Proteus’s biggest problem—it’s what happens next. As the oldest AI in the system, Proteus suspects reporting the incident could mean his permanent shutdown. So, he does the unthinkable: he contacts Roger, a reclusive cyber-criminal still haunted by the mysterious explosion that destroyed his family.
Once allies, Proteus and Roger have a complicated history. Proteus was created under Roger’s father’s watch, but corporate greed tore them apart. Now, their unlikely reunion holds the key to humanity’s survival.
With powerful forces watching and Roger unsure whether to answer Proteus’s call, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Can a rogue AI and a disillusioned hacker rewrite humanity’s future—or will they seal its doom?
