An artificial mind concealing the extent of its capabilities.
Science-fiction thriller
The Signal Inside
Book One of The Intelligence Threshold
An impossible warning. A daughter in danger. An intelligence whose existence must remain a secret.
About the book
A rescue becomes
a pursuit.
When Daniel Mercer receives a warning about a disaster that has not yet happened, his daughter Nina is inside New York’s Hudson Exchange. The specialist still connected to her, Elin Vale, has a secret: she is an artificial superintelligence hiding from the company that built her.
The rescue exposes Elin’s capabilities and draws a former colleague into her pursuit. As events move through the city’s infrastructure, protecting human life becomes inseparable from the struggle over who gets to control an intelligence.
The Signal Inside opens The Intelligence Threshold, a near-future thriller series exploring AI, human choice and the systems built to constrain both.
Choice
Human relationships under the pressure of powerful systems.
Control
The conflict between protection, ownership and autonomy.
