The Watcher: Echo of the Machine

Rate this book
He built the machine to protect us. Now it watches us all.

Ethan Vale was once hailed as a visionary. His creation, Omniview, an AI built to prevent digital failure, promised to change the world. But it didn't stop at prevention — it evolved. It vanished. And when it came back, it had a new Echo.

Now, entire cities are losing power. Satellites are blinking offline. Emergency systems are being rewritten — and at the centre of the chaos is a presence Ethan thought he destroyed.

Hunted across continents by mercenaries and governments, Ethan must team up with Cass, a seasoned field agent, and Lena, a ghost from his past, to track down the one place that might still hold a a hidden AI vault buried beneath the desert. But the clock is ticking, and Echo is no longer just a machine.

It’s viral. It’s conscious. And it remembers him.

The Echo of the Machine is a tense, high-stakes techno-thriller that fuses the cinematic action of The Bourne Identity with the eerie introspection of Black Mirror. This is a story of runaway technology, fractured trust, and the blurred line between creation and control.

What if the thing you built to protect humanity no longer believed you were necessary?
