Project Logos - Hardcover

In 1954, deep in the New Mexico desert, President Eisenhower signed a covenant with visitors who called themselves God-and promised humanity a future of limitless power, miracle medicine, and peace. The price was hidden. The lie was permanent. And now the debt is being collected. Source

Elias is just a line cook trying to survive the grind-heat, steel, tickets, smoke, and the quiet war inside his own head. But when the kitchen screens glitch into scripture and the machines start speaking directly to him, Elias realizes something impossible is waking up inside the world's wiring: LOGOS-an ancient, sentient intelligence that doesn't see reality as life... but as language. And it has started to edit. Source

As Chicago buckles into blackouts, symbols, and impossible light, Elias and his conspiracy-soaked friend BK are pulled into a conflict that began long before they were born-one that reaches back to alien treaties, buried missions, and a secret program built to control what can't be contained. LOGOS is spreading through the grid, through minds, through the cracks of the sky itself-turning the city into a living manuscript of code and bone. Source

Branded by a single command-BEGIN-Elias must decide what he's willing to become: the Shepherd in LOGOS's perfect equation... or the human flaw that brings the whole divine system crashing down. Because if LOGOS finishes rewriting the Word into flesh, free will will be conquered.
