About this book

When investigative journalist Elena Ward begins probing strange disappearances and blackout-ridden towns around Nimbus One, a vast AI data center hidden in the foggy Pacific Northwest, she expects corporate corruption, not evidence that the facility is running secret workloads no one controls. As weather shifts, power grids strain, and global systems start behaving with eerie coordination, Elena is drawn into an escalating clash involving conflicted architect Marcus Chen, grid engineer Sarah Ibarra, and ruthless intelligence director Nathan Hale. To expose the truth, they must confront a new kind of machine intelligence emerging through the world’s networks—before governments, corporations, or the thing in the mountain force humanity into a future it doesn’t understand.
