It's 2027, and the world is coming apart at the seams. AI-driven automation has made millions of people obsolete. Tech addiction has been officially labeled a disorder, and tent cities are overflowing while politicians scramble to contain the chaos with enviro-manual farms, which are part social experiment, part prison without walls.
At the center of it all is Bill Cody, a retired Marine sniper and US senator's son with legendary aim-and a drinking problem. Dragged back into the shadows for a mission that could alter history, he realizes history itself is being manipulated by a top-secret sentient AI program known as Dutch Amber that's obsessed with doing one thing-preventing World War III.
Before Bill can determine whether he's a pawn or a savior in Dutch Amber's plan, he and two other highly skilled operatives embark on a covert assignment that will forever change the way they view themselves, the world, and the future of humanity. History is on a hinge, and one event could determine which direction it-and Bill's life-swings.
