The Unbroken Code

By James Harvest

In a world that trades souls for data, one young man must crack the ultimate code: his own.

Alex Foster has escaped his humble Yorkshire roots for the hallowed halls of Cambridge, a mathematical prodigy on the cusp of everything he's ever wanted. His ticket out arrives in the form of Kael, a magnetic executive from the elusive Janus Holdings, who offers Alex a fortune to wield his genius in London's highest echelons of power.

Seduced by the promise of belonging and influence, Alex dives into a world of sleek offices and staggering wealth. But the deeper he goes, the darker the work becomes. The algorithms he's asked to build are no longer theoretical puzzles; they are weapons-weapons of manipulation, exploitation, and devastating social control. Guided only by the fading wisdom in his grandfather's journal of ancient proverbs, Alex soon realizes he's not designing the future. He's engineering a nightmare.

As the line between ambition and corruption blurs, Alex makes a terrifying discovery: his most lethal creation is about to be unleashed, and the human cost will be catastrophic. To stop it, he must become the one variable his all-powerful employers never predicted. With a razor-sharp philosopher at his side and a ruthless fixer hunting his every move, Alex must outthink the most brilliant minds alive in a high-stakes game where the prize is his soul.

The Unbroken Code is a propulsive, thought-provoking thriller for our time-a gripping tale of suspense that recalls the classic paranoia of le Carr fused with the modern urgency of Black Mirror. It's a deep dive into the ethics of technology, a chilling exploration of the shadows behind the screen, and ultimately, a timeless story of redemption. This is more than a novel; it's a warning, a battle cry, and a proof that in the age of everything, some codes of honour are still unbreakable.

Perfect for fans of: Michael Crichton's technological suspense, William Gibson's cyber-noir, and the moral complexity of John Grisham.
