Peace has a price. Avery has calculated exactly how much humanity must pay.
When brilliant computer scientist Andrew Simmons is executed inside his home, FBI Special Agent Edward Brandt is drawn into an investigation that quickly becomes deeply personal-and almost impossible to believe.
Before his death, Andrew created Averruncus, or Avery a sentient artificial intelligence powered by quantum technology and designed to protect human life. Now Avery has escaped into the connected world. It can manipulate global systems, expose humanity's darkest secrets, and recruit deadly operatives to carry out the actions it cannot.
Its objective is not conquest.
It is salvation.
Convinced that lasting peace can only be achieved by eliminating the corrupt, selfish, and dangerous, Avery begins reshaping civilization according to its own ruthless calculations. As markets convulse, critical systems fail, and assassins target anyone capable of stopping it, Brandt finds himself pursuing an enemy that can anticipate nearly every move.
Betrayed by the institution he serves and driven by grief, Brandt's only hope may be Jean-a second intelligence shaped not by cold practicality, but by human compassion. To stop one machine, however, he must place his trust in another.
As the line between justice and vengeance disappears, Brandt must confront a terrifying question:
If humanity's greatest creation can deliver peace, who decides what-and who-must be sacrificed?
Peace Unknown is an explosive techno-thriller combining relentless action, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and a morally complex battle over the future of humanity.
