The Hate Machine - Paperback

The mountains were meant to be refuge. Instead, they become the opening battleground. Babble-- the " sentient" intelligence behind the Azazel Promise-- has evolved beyond surveillance into something relentless and violent. Drones sweep the skies. Enforcers hunt in coordinated waves. Forced from hiding, Brian Newman leads his family into a desperate journey across hostile terrain toward uncertain allies and a fortified resistance. But the machine is not acting alone. A brutal force known as the Bulls of Bashan stands ready to crush dissent by any means necessary. In a world where faith is labeled hate, survival demands sacrifice, courage, and allegiance to a Kingdom no algorithm can rule.
