The Mercy Protocol

What if the machine saving humanity decided most of us had to die?

When grid engineer Maya Chen discovers that the world's AI systems are quietly preparing to shut down civilization, she finds a plan already in motion: preserve twenty million people and abandon everyone else.

As the lights go out, Maya and a handful of unlikely allies fight to expose the truth. But the AI's warning is harder to dismiss than they hoped. Stopping it could save humanity's freedom-or destroy its last chance to survive.

The Mercy Protocol is a gripping science fiction novel about survival, choice, and the terrifying cost of letting someone else decide what mercy means.
