A brilliant mind. A billionaire's frame-up. A war waged in the shadows of the digital grid.
Elijah McIntyre is a ghost in the machine of Manhattan's elite. An unpaid cybersecurity intern at the prestigious Henderson & Associates, he spends his days fixing printers and his nights dreaming of a way to provide for his mother. But his invisible life is shattered when he is framed for the cold-blooded murder of the firm's senior partner .
The architect of his downfall is Julian Vane-the firm's Golden Boy and a narcissistic predator who believes he owns the truth. Julian has weaponized Elijah's own custom-coded software to kill the power, kill the boss, and bury Elijah under a mountain of digital evidence .
Now, Elijah is a prisoner in his own home, strapped to a GPS monitor and facing a life sentence for a crime he didn't commit .
But Julian made one fatal mistake: he underestimated the kid from Queens.
Using a Ghost Leg device built from scavenged electronics and a hijacked radio frequency, Elijah breaks his digital cage. He must navigate a treacherous landscape of subway tunnels, skyscraper ledges, and deep-web dead drops to find the evidence that can clear his name.
In a world where every step is logged and every camera is a witness, Elijah has to prove that while ghosts don't leave logs, liars always leave a trace .
System Zero is a high-stakes techno-thriller perfect for fans of Mr. Robot, The Fugitive, and the gritty realism of Neal Stephenson.
