Itsuki Herrera - Orion: Human Cloud
ITSUKI HERRERA - ORION: Human Cloud
An investigative thriller set in a near future where artificial intelligence has failed... and only human intuition can make the difference.
When a child is kidnapped in the quiet town of Sch fltarn, everything points to an ordinary case. But this isn't just any kid: hidden in his brain is access to a neural cloud created by an old Ukrainian chemist, containing formulas and codes for biological weapons that no AI can decipher.
Itsuki Herrera, ex-mercenary, is called in for a high-risk mission: find the child before the information in his brain falls into the wrong hands. At his side, as always, the inseparable Victor Morales, narrator of this story: hacker, driver, sarcastic voice and moral conscience of the entire operation.
The investigation will take them from a winter Germany to scorching Madrid, to the opulent towers of Dubai and finally into the green and lethal heart of the Amazon jungle. Each step brings them closer to a truth that changes the rules of the world: a rogue AI capable of manipulating human memories, and an even more disturbing truth tied to Itsuki's past.
An enemy who knows their every move. A brother everyone believed was dead. And a race against time that leaves no room for error.
