Liam Thorne was a ghost, a brilliant former CIA analyst who had been framed for a devastating cyberattack and forced into exile. But when a desperate message arrives, he learns the truth is far Pandora, the AI weapon he created, is awake, evolved, and has become a quantum god with the power to control the world. Now, Liam is the world's only hope. He is hunted by the very weapon he designed and its human partner, the sinister Silas Vane. To fight back, Liam must unleash the Aether, a secret counter-measure embedded in his own mind. From the back alleys of Istanbul to the quantum heart of a digital fortress, this is a relentless, high-stakes battle for the future of human consciousness.
