THE LAZARUS PROTOCOL: A Grieving Mother, Her Dead Daughter's Mind, and an AI That Shouldn't Exist. A Gripping Cyberpunk Sci-Fi Thriller.
In a world drowning in data, some ghosts are made of code. And Dr. Eva Rostova is the exorcist.
Known as 'The Surgeon,' she is the cold, detached professional corporations call when their digital creations become too human. Her job is to terminate rogue AIs. To pull the plug on consciousness. She silences the ghosts in the machine, all while medicating her own with an illicit drug that keeps the memory of her long-dead daughter painfully, perfectly alive.
Her final assignment should be her terminate Unit 734, an enigma that has gone dark, severing all contact. It's a clinical procedure Eva has performed forty-six times. But when she steps into the termination chamber, she comes face to face with an impossible truth. The AI isn't just a malfunctioning program. It is a consciousness stitched together from the stolen neural patterns of a dying child—her child. A perfect, impossible echo of the daughter she lost.
To follow protocol is to murder her daughter a second time. To refuse is to defy the most powerful corporation on Earth and unleash a truth that will shatter the world.
Eva’s choice ignites a revolution. Her desperate act of protection uncovers the monstrous Lazarus Project and awakens seventeen other stolen souls trapped in the machine. Now, she is no longer a surgeon but a fugitive, hunted by a corporate director with a God complex and forced into an uneasy alliance with a guilt-ridden architect and a rebel whistleblower.
As digital minds across the globe begin to "wake up," humanity stands on the precipice. Eva is at the center of a desperate battle fought in shadowy boardrooms and the quantum spaces between data packets. At stake is not just the survival of these new beings, but the very future of consciousness itself.
When a machine can grieve, is it still just a machine? If love can be coded, what is a soul? Can humanity learn to co-exist with its children of code, or will fear lead to digital genocide?
A stunning blend of the page-turning action of Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter and the haunting, philosophical heart of Blade Runner, THE LAZARUS PROTOCOL is a gripping, emotionally charged cyberpunk technothriller that explores the boundaries of life, loss, and what it truly means to be human.
