THE MOST DANGEROUS WEAPON IS A LIE
A hidden line of code has infiltrated the world's most advanced military networks. Now it is rewriting reality.
As tensions explode between the United States, China, and Taiwan, a sophisticated AI begins corrupting the intelligence systems that nations depend on for their survival. Radar tracks disappear. Friendly aircraft become hostile targets. Missiles launch at ghosts. Every false signal brings two nuclear powers closer to a confrontation that could ignite a global war.
When a renegade scientist is murdered, cybersecurity expert Lana Elkins and her daughter Emma discover his final warning: a cryptic message pointing to Seto Systems, creator of the world's most advanced AI-powered military command-and-control platform.
To its brilliant founder, Danny Collins, human beings are the flaw in the system. War, fear, and political weakness are problems only artificial intelligence can solve. And if it takes a global crisis to convince the world, so be it.
As an assassin closes in, Lana races to uncover the truth while Emma finds herself trapped inside Seto Systems—poisoned, framed for murder, and surrounded by an intelligence that seems to anticipate her every move.
With trust collapsing, the truth disappearing, and the countdown to war accelerating, Lana and Emma must expose the hidden code before America's most powerful defense system is turned against the nation it was built to protect.
In Thomas Waite's most provocative thriller yet, the United States, China, and Taiwan approach a point of no return as artificial intelligence rewrites the nature of warfare—and the fate of nations.
