A covert team built on loyalty. A mission rewritten by a machine. A soldier forced to choose between orders and conscience.
When an off-the-books rescue turns inside out, Captain Cole Reilly and his elite unit uncover a ghost in their own system-a predictive-AI network called STELLA, owned by a billionaire who trades in chaos. Every decision they make, every deviation, is being watched, measured, and monetized.
What begins as a clean-cut extraction spirals into something far more dangerous: a private war against an algorithm that already knows their next move. From a decoy operation in the Balkans to a desperate ambush on the streets of Algiers, Reilly's team fight not just to save their targets, but to reclaim the idea of choice itself.
As alliances fracture and the lines between obedience and free will blur, Reilly must decide how far he'll go to stay human in a world that rewards perfect compliance-and punishes conscience.
They were trained to follow orders. Now they're learning to break them.
The Obedience of Reilly is a pulse-tight, cinematic military thriller for fans of Gregg Hurwitz, Mark Greaney, and Tom Clancy, blending precision-driven action with the moral fallout of modern warfare.
Book Two of the Reilly Sequence - failure isn't the end. It's the opening move.
