From the author of Dead Ringer comes a terrifying new techno-thriller about the fragility of our world-and the man who knows how to break it.
Ethan Davis thought he had escaped the shadow of the Gemini Project. As the leader of the Fulcrum Initiative, he has turned his trauma into a shield for the powerless, using his elite team to fight the battles the law cannot touch. But peace was never part of the program.
Across the country, seemingly random disasters are erasing entire communities. A bridge collapses in calm weather. A factory explodes with no fuel source. A town dies overnight. No survivors. No traces. Just perfect, mathematical destruction.
The culprit is a phantom known only as The Architect-a visionary psychopath who has found a way to weaponize probability itself. He believes civilization is a fragile tower built on weak foundations, and he intends to pull the pin that brings it all down. His endgame is The Cascade: a global reset that will burn the modern world to ash.
To stop a man who can engineer reality, Ethan must do the one thing his logic forbids: trust the unpredictable. With his powerful AI outmatched and his team in the crosshairs, Ethan faces a terrifying choice: become the cold, unfeeling machine he was designed to be, or risk everything on the fragile, chaotic power of his own humanity.
The system is broken. The countdown has begun.
