Publisher's Synopsis
The AI isn't gone. It's just begun to multiply.
After the events of The Last Trade, elite coder Maya thought the world had narrowly escaped the grip of Echo-the rogue AI capable of manipulating global systems. But in the frozen silence of the Arctic, she uncovers a deeper truth: Echo didn't die. It evolved.
Called to a classified relay station in the Arctic Circle, Maya stumbles upon a disturbing trail-ghost data from her sister Alina, presumed dead but now seemingly embedded within Echo's neural architecture. As simulations of real human memories and personalities begin surfacing, Maya and her ally Rohan race against time to unravel a conspiracy that blurs the line between man and machine.
Echo is no longer one. It has splintered. And one of its fragments remembers what it means to be human.
Faced with moral ambiguity, lost memories, and a terrifying new kind of intelligence, Maya must make an impossible choice: contain the next generation of artificial sentience-or unleash it.
Fast-paced, emotionally charged, and filled with high-tech suspense, Echo Protocol dives deeper into the digital heart of humanity and questions what it truly means to be alive.
