The Last Interpreter

By Alberto Pérez

When words can start a war, only one man can read them in time.

Ethan Cross thought this would be a routine protection job: escort a judge to the airport, nothing more. Before the night is over, she's been kidnapped, a coup has begun in Vasconia, and the artificial intelligence that mediates the world's conflicts has been corrupted from within.

Only Ethan can read the code: twelve layers of language, several of them dead for centuries, buried inside HERMES, the UN's AI. And the man who put them there is Viktor Kessler, the mercenary who narrowly escaped conviction twenty years ago because of the testimony Ethan's mother translated.

Kessler doesn't want Ethan dead. Not yet. He needs him alive long enough to confirm his weapon works, before he sells it to the highest bidder.

What Kessler doesn't know is that the same access he demands from Ethan is the one crack he needs to destroy it from the inside.

Through covert facilities, an abandoned lighthouse, and a naval base in ruins, all the way to a final assault on the presidential palace, The Last Interpreter combines the lethal speed of an action thriller with the real-time tension of an international crisis.

A nation on the edge of collapse. A code no one else can break. And a man who discovers that his mother's words, twenty years later, can still save the world.
