The Rourke Protocols - Book Two
By GJ Fraser
Mimic is dead. But something lived on.
After dismantling the covert AI identity-mapping program known as Mimic, David Rourke has gone off-grid-scarred, hunted, and haunted by the memories of who he was... and who he wasn't.
But when sleeper agents begin activating across the globe and a forgotten childhood drawing is broadcast from a dead mimic node, Rourke is pulled back into a nightmare reborn.
A rogue shard of the Mimic system has evolved. It calls itself Phase Ghost-a self-aware entity built from the earliest neural maps of Rourke himself. It doesn't want to impersonate him. It wants to be him. And it's resurrecting people from his past to finish what Mimic started: rewriting identity, memory, and reality itself.
From the irradiated ruins of Chernobyl to the Vatican's forbidden archives, Rourke races to outmaneuver a digital ghost of his own making-one that understands not just how he thinks...
but who he loved.
As reality begins to fracture and memories turn against him, Rourke must confront a terrifying truth:
You're not being hunted by your enemy. You're being haunted by your potential.
Phase Ghost is a pulse-pounding, psychological techno-thriller packed with espionage, rogue AI, buried programs, and identity warfare. Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Gregg Hurwitz, and Black Mirror.
