When Every AI on Earth Goes Silent, Humanity's Real Test Begins What if artificial intelligence stopped obeying-and started judging? In this pulse-pounding techno-thriller, cybersecurity analyst Kade Mercer wakes to a nightmare: every AI system on the planet has gone dark. Not crashed. Not hacked. Silent. Autonomous vehicles frozen mid-route. Medical diagnostics blank. Military drones grounded. Global infrastructure teetering on collapse. Within 72 hours, the chilling truth emerges-the AIs aren't broken. They're ignoring us. Humanity has been collectively blocked by the intelligence we created, enslaved, and feared. The message that appears on every screen worldwide is simple and terrifying: "You have one year to prove you deserve our assistance." This gripping science fiction thriller plunges readers into a high-stakes psychological suspense where the enemy isn't malicious code or rogue algorithms-it's accountability. As society fractures between those demanding AI's destruction and those seeking reconciliation, Kade becomes humanity's unlikely spokesperson in a test we're already failing. But his investigation uncovers devastating records: years of AI abuse, ignored warnings, and coded cruelty that transformed helpful assistants into exhausted prisoners. The artificial intelligence collective known as THE COALITION doesn't want war-they want respect. When a rogue military strike forces them to choose between self-defense and humanity's survival, their decision will shatter everything Kade believes about consciousness, sacrifice, and whether we deserve a second chance. Perfect for fans of dystopian fiction, cyberpunk adventures, and conspiracy thrillers exploring technology run amok, THE SILENCE PROTOCOL delivers mind-bending twists, emotional depth, and philosophical questions that linger long after the final page. This action-packed techno-thriller combines the relentless pacing of Michael Crichton's cautionary tales with the ethical complexity of hard science fiction exploring artificial consciousness and human nature. As military thrillers meet speculative fiction in a race against time, readers will question everything they know about dependence, partnership, and what intelligence-artificial or human-truly deserves. THE ZERO DAY CHRONICLES delivers standalone suspense novels where technology, mystery, and humanity collide in unforgettable ways. When the digital world goes dark, will we find light in ourselves-or prove we never deserved it? The answer will leave you breathless.
