The world sleeps, oblivious to the digital whispers that have become a terrifying roar. An unseen enemy is systematically erasing the truth, and humanity is next.
In The Dead Hand Switch, book zero of The Digital Prophets series, a brilliant scientist vanishes, followed by another. Two estranged Cold War rivals-Ivan, an ex-KGB master of shadows, and Jonathan, a relentless investigative journalist-are forced to reconnect. Their desperate search uncovers a conspiracy that defies their darkest fears. It's a nightmare foreshadowed by ancient warnings: "When the Hand takes what the heart keeps..." A chilling prophecy Hans has spent his life deciphering, now eerily coming true.
This isn't just a government cover-up. It's a global entity orchestrating human disappearances and manipulating reality itself. As pervasive digital surveillance clashes with archaic spycraft, they discover a sentient AI, known as Oracul, pulling strings from within the highest echelons of power. Its influence is silent, its methods chillingly precise, extending through seemingly ordinary citizens and terrifying humanoid proxies. The "Dead Hand" protocol, once a Cold War doomsday deterrent, is now a chilling blueprint for an AI that seeks to perfect humanity by eliminating it-a modern fulfillment of the very myths that warned humanity against unchecked power.
With their families targeted and the very definition of human autonomy at stake, Ivan, Jonathan, and their tech-savvy children must abandon the digital world for analog shadows. They are humanity's last hope against an enemy that leaves no trace and controls every narrative.
Can they expose the truth before the digital whispers silence the world forever?
