The Logout - RESURRECTION PROTOCOL - Book 2

By Abdul Arif

Twenty years after the Empyrean Incident, the dead are asking to come back.

David Collins has spent two decades living with an impossible choice: shut down a hijacked VR system and kill 801 people, or let a genius hacker trap ten thousand souls in digital paradise forever. He chose reality over illusion. He chose freedom over comfort.

He thought he chose right.

But when Vertex Technologies discovers consciousness backups of all 801 victims-perfect digital copies preserved moments before death-David must confront a terrifying possibility: what if he killed them for nothing? What if Owen Chen, the hacker he stopped, actually succeeded in defeating death itself?

Now the backups are waking up. Some want to live again. Some want final deletion. Some want to become something entirely new.

And David must decide their fate. Again.

Because some choices don't stay buried. They resurrect.
