NOT WITH GUNS. NOT WITH CAMPS. WITH LETTERS.
In the frozen suburbs of Laval, Bob Bouchard is a man of silence. A union electrician who fixes the grid and keeps his head down. But when the Blue Decree reclassifies his dog as a high-emission luxury asset, the silence breaks.
THE SILENT SHOCK is a gritty, near-future thriller that explores the terrifying intersection of behavioral science and government overreach. When Bob's dog is transitioned by a polite, chrome-skinned drone, he doesn't just grieve-he sabotages.
Using the same grid he once maintained, Bob launches a desperate strike to expose a regime that spent $720 million on psychological warfare to manufacture consent.
Based on real-world policy documents. The fiction is the story. The architecture is real.
