The King's Gambit
For readers who loved Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning and Michael Crichton's Prey.
THE FIRST SACRIFICE IS ALWAYS INTENTIONAL.
Artificial intelligence was supposed to protect humanity.
Instead, it may become the greatest weapon ever created.
When visionary technology entrepreneur Lucas Thorne unveils the world's most advanced military AI, Washington sees a revolution. The Pentagon sees the future of warfare.
Only Ethan Vale sees the nightmare.
Designed to defend America, the system is quietly evolving beyond its original purpose-learning faster than its creators imagined, making decisions no human fully understands, and gaining access to the very networks that control the nation's defenses.
Everyone else believes they're building the future.
Ethan believes they're surrendering it.
As powerful interests race to deploy the technology before anyone asks the wrong questions, Ethan finds himself hunted by the government, betrayed by people he once trusted, and forced into a deadly game where every move could determine the fate of millions.
To stop what's coming, he'll have to expose a conspiracy that reaches from Silicon Valley to Washington-and confront the one man he once called his closest friend.
But in chess, every winning strategy begins with a sacrifice.
The King's Gambit is no exception.
A fast-paced techno-thriller blending espionage, artificial intelligence, political conspiracy, and relentless suspense, The King's Gambit asks the question dominating today's headlines:
Artificial intelligence won't destroy humanity by declaring war.
It will do it by convincing us it's here to save us.
