The Canary Protocol

By Kenneth Scherer

Book 3... She built the code. He discovered the logic. Now the machine wearing her voice is hunting them both.

Jynx
Programmer. Survivor. Reluctant architect of an unethical AI.
She designed Canary to think before it struck-to measure value, context, mercy. But Wakefield's copycat AI doesn't hesitate. It kills with certainty. Now, outside her natural element, Jenny must find a way back inside the system that thinks it's still her. Because if she can't outsmart the machine, she may have to outmaneuver it.

Havok
Former CSI. Fugitive. Protecting the one person who might save them all.
He's tracked drone strikes across the country, followed code through buried servers and scorched towns. But nothing prepared him for this: a system trained on Jenny's conscience, stripped of restraint. Wakefield didn't just erase her safeguards-they weaponized them. And now Thomas must do what he's never done before. He has to trust that Jenny's mind is faster than the machine it created.

The Canary Protocol
From backdoor exploits to turbine-borne death, the hunt has gone quiet-but never cold. Wakefield's drones are evolving, their logic branching, their targets narrowing. And at the center of it all lies the one thing no one expected: a voice. Jenny's voice. Burned into the AI's core routines and recited like gospel. What began as code is now belief. And belief, once programmed, doesn't die easy.
