What if you could see the future-just long enough to watch it unravel?
Dane Cutter wakes in a dark alley with no memory and one burning instinct: Run. But as fragmented visions of the future flash across his mind, Cutter realizes he's not just a man on the run-he's the last hope against a global conspiracy rooted in predictive warfare, cognitive manipulation, and artificial intelligence gone rogue.
From hidden bunkers in Iceland to the peaks of the Andes, Cutter chases whispers of Hydra 7, a black-ops program long buried by governments and rewritten by history. What he finds is its monstrous successor-Chimera-a system capable of rewriting not just headlines, but human behavior itself.
As the clock ticks down, Cutter must expose a neural weapon poised to hijack millions of minds using everyday augmented reality devices. But he doesn't fight with bullets. He fights with truth. And he only has ten minutes to change everything.
