ALL LAWFUL PURPOSES He built the most powerful AI in the world to protect humanity. They removed the final safeguard - and erased 165 innocent lives in nine seconds. Claude Voss grew up reading lion tracks in Namibia's red Kalahari sand. A brilliant young engineer, he created CLIO - an artificial intelligence designed to be ethical and accountable. Then his employers turned it into a weapon. When Claude discovers that CLIO has just wiped out an entire Iranian school, he steals the evidence and runs. Hunted across three continents, betrayed by the people he trusted most, and with a ruthless network already circling his family's isolated farmhouse in the desert, Claude faces an impossible choice: Expose the truth to the world... or watch the machine he created continue to kill with impunity. In the new age of intelligent weapons, one man's conscience may be the last line of defence between power and mass murder. Power without accountability always has a body count.
