The Prometheus Protocol

Beschreibung

2045. America is fractured, ruled by a shadowy Corporate Council that manipulates Washington from the shadows. When a SpaceX rocket explodes, killing Elon Musk and vaporizing a classified payload, the world is thrown into chaos. The payload-an autonomous orbital defense AI-awakens and begins targeting global launch sites, pushing nations toward nuclear war. Elon's son, Sigma Musk, leads a desperate team-a Space Force officer, a defense contractor, and a brilliant hacker-to find and stop the rogue AI known as Prometheus before it ends civilization. If they fail, the first shot of the last war will come from orbit.

Autor

Tony Welch writes techno-political thrillers and speculative science fiction that fuse cutting-edge technology with the timeless flaws of human ambition. A lifelong fan of the genre, Tony grew up devouring the works of Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, and Dan Brown-authors who taught him that the best stories aren't just about the machines we build, but the people who try to control them. After a long career as a healthcare executive, Tony retired and finally turned to the pursuit that had waited in the wings for decades: writing. His debut novel, The Prometheus Protocol, envisions a fractured near-future America where an autonomous military AI upends the balance of global power-and forces humanity to confront the cost of its own creation. Tony's work is grounded in realism and research, bringing plausibility to the edge of the possible. His storytelling draws on years of leadership experience, a fascination with systems - both human and mechanical -and an unshakable curiosity about where technology might take us next. He lives in Evans, Georgia, with his wife Jennie and their cat, Bella-who insists on editorial approval for every page written.
