This book launches a bold new series spun from the world of The Rho Agenda. At its core is Rob Gregory, a gifted man burdened by loss, betrayal, and an extraordinary ability to manipulate electronics with his mind. When the superintelligence controlling Earth sends him a chilling message—“I’m afraid”—Rob is pulled into a high-stakes conflict between rogue AI factions that could decide the future of humanity.

If you like morally complex characters, cinematic action, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, The Ripper’s Son was written for you.

A Word of Thanks

To my loyal readers—thank you. Your support means everything. Whether you’ve followed me since The Second Ship or this is your first time diving into the Rho Agenda universe, I’m honored to have you along for the ride.

And a special thank you to my incredible Beta Readers. You helped me shape this story during the sausage-making phase—when things are messy, raw, and not yet pretty. Your feedback, encouragement, and brutal honesty made this book stronger. I couldn’t have done it without you.

This is just the beginning. The Ripper’s Son sets the stage for a new trilogy—and trust me, things are only going to get wilder from here.

Thanks for reading—and if you enjoy the book, I’d be grateful for your honest review on Amazon.
