Not yet published
Expected 1 Mar 27Dominion’s patience has limits. They have just reached them.
Cipher Reeve is no longer an anomaly to be studied. He is a target to be eliminated — and Dominion’s highest authority has authorized measures that have not been used since the Purge.
Relay 6 is within reach. The Signal is forming something new — a coherent layer, a presence with its own intent. And from the deep architecture of the relay network, a figure emerges who has been building toward this moment for longer than Cipher has been alive.
The Archivist has arrived. Nothing will be simple again.
The ConOps21 series continues. Every relay activation has a cost.
Book Four of twelve. The enemy was never only Dominion.

About the author
DC Davies
3 booksDC Davies writes from inside the systems the stories are about.
Before the fiction, there was a decade of independent research into AI architectures — memory, governance, multi-agent inference, the unglamorous plumbing that decides what a machine is allowed to remember about you. ConOps21 didn't come from imagining a future. It came from extrapolating one that's already being built.
ConOps21: Subversion Protocol — Black Signal is Book One of a twelve-volume techno-thriller series, published under ACME Book Company™ LLC, an imprint of Reality String™ LLC. The wider ConOps21™ universe extends into an Unreal Engine 5 interactive adaptation and a live alternate reality game running in parallel with the novels — same canon, different angles.
