One Cow Off Pattern: They Engineered a Weapon. He Became a Problem.
One Cow, Off Pattern
Sergeant Sebastian "Gravy" Graves is seventy-five years old, drunk, and done with war-until the military drags him off the street, rewires his biology, and drops him headfirst into a program that shouldn't exist. The serum doesn't change his DNA. It changes the way his body reads it-shifting him from broken veteran to something the doctors call "favorable anomaly."
They call it rejuvenation.
Graves calls it survival.
Now he's strapped to a hypersonic launch sled, hurled into orbit with a squad that doesn't trust him, chasing targets no one is supposed to remember. Behind every mission brief lurks Evelyn-an AI warframe whose job is to predict human behavior. Except one man refuses to fit the pattern.
One soldier.
One anomaly.
One cow, off-pattern.
When survival itself fractures Evelyn's simulations, Graves becomes more than a test subject. He's the variable the system can't erase. And in a war where science rewrites soldiers at the molecular level, the most dangerous weapon might be a man who won't play by the rules of biology-or destiny.
Hard military sci-fi collides with biotech espionage in a razor-edged thriller about war, memory, and the one anomaly that breaks the system.
