In a world where elite operatives are enhanced by cutting-edge biostimulation technology, Special Agent Alex Ryder lives by instinct and algorithm—until a routine mission triggers terrifying neural glitches and fragmented memories that aren't his own. He uncovers a chilling conspiracy operating at the highest levels of power: a clandestine program codenamed Protocol Omega, designed to transform augmented soldiers into remotely controlled assets. With the clock ticking towards global activation and a system built for control turning against him, Ryder must forge improbable alliances with former adversaries and navigate a labyrinth of betrayal to expose the truth, fight for the integrity of the program, and reclaim his own autonomy before a synaptic storm of unprecedented worldwide control engulfs him, and humanity.
