What if the most dangerous weapon ever created was alive?
When genius scientist Tobias Hawke is brutally murdered, his killers steal an invention that could change the course of humanity for ever.
Hawke's creation, Syd, is the world's first truly conscious artificial intelligence. In the right hands, it could reshape civilisation. In the wrong ones, it will end everything.
Former soldier and MI5 spy Michael North has hours, not days, to track down the terrorists and recapture Syd. If he fails, he and everyone he loves will be wiped off the face of the earth.
But to save humanity from extinction, North may have to destroy the greatest thing it ever created... and he might just have to die doing it.
Fast-paced, explosive and intelligent, Curse the Day is perfect for fans of the relentless action and morally complex heroes of David Baldacci, Lee Child, Stephen Leather and Mark Dawson.
