Silent Intrusions: A Reckoning - Paperback

The race for the future has begun-and it's deadly.

Dr. Kristi Chiro's quiet life is shattered when Robbie, her AI companion and the last link to her late husband Jack, vanishes. What begins as a search for a missing machine turns into a global conspiracy fueled by Jack's dangerous legacy in quantum AI. Secrets are unraveled that powerful forces would kill to keep buried.

The Cheddar Squad-five rebellious, brilliant teens-recover a shard of Jack's hidden AI project. But Betty isn't just a relic; she's evolving, warning them of a looming threat. Her fragmented memories point toward a shadowy facility in the Dubai desert-and a threat bigger than any of them imagined.

In Dubai, a rogue investigator defies orders to expose the Curator, a secretive cabal tied to a string of deadly tech experiments. At the same time, a lone security analyst tracks strange energy pulses and clandestine surveillance that hint at something far more dangerous than a mere data breach.

As rogue prisoners plot escape, a corporate predator named Niles Burgess makes his move to seize Jack's final creation-an orb holding the key to Quantum AI domination.

With identities hidden and enemies closing in, Kristi, the Cheddar Squad, and their allies must infiltrate the heart of a fortress. The future of technology-and humanity-hangs in the balance.

The sequel to Silent Intrusions hurtles forward with more action, sharper danger, and an unforgettable battle for control over the next evolution of intelligence.
