ITSUKI HERRERA - ORION: Human Cloud
An investigative thriller set in a near future where artificial intelligence has failed... and only human intuition can make the difference.
When a child is kidnapped in the quiet town of Schäfltarn, everything points to an ordinary case. But this isn't just any kid: hidden in his brain is access to a neural cloud created by an old Ukrainian chemist, containing formulas and codes for biological weapons that no AI can decipher.
Itsuki Herrera, ex-mercenary, is called in for a high-risk mission: find the child before the information in his brain falls into the wrong hands. At his side, as always, the inseparable Victor Morales, narrator of this story: hacker, driver, sarcastic voice and moral conscience of the entire operation.
The investigation will take them from a winter Germany to scorching Madrid, to the opulent towers of Dubai and finally into the green and lethal heart of the Amazon jungle. Each step brings them closer to a truth that changes the rules of the world: a rogue AI capable of manipulating human memories, and an even more disturbing truth tied to Itsuki's past.
An enemy who knows their every move. A brother everyone believed was dead. And a race against time that leaves no room for error.
Why you should read it:
✓ Unforgettable protagonists: Itsuki, the man with a burned past, and Victor, the soul of the story with razor-sharp wit and a surprising heart

✓ Cyber-thriller with soul: Between free-falling paratroopers, corrupt neurosurgeons, and rogue AIs, the stakes are always human
✓ Immersive writing: Noir, gritty, sarcastic, always walking the razor's edge
