Three weeks after burying his mentor, Tomas Vega receives a message from the dead man's revoked PGP key. The signature verifies. The contents are worse.
Millions of people wear the Noesis Arc — a neural implant that sharpens cognition, smooths mood, optimises sleep. Tomas helped build it. Now he has proof it can kill, and a countdown timer showing seven days until it does.
Elias Navarro spent two years after his disgrace engineering the perfect revenge: a dead man's switch that will trigger fatal seizures in every Arc user on the planet. His former protege is the only person who can stop it — if corporate kill teams, federal agents, and dark web arms dealers don't get to him first.
Tomas has seven days, a compromised implant in his own skull, and a dead man who anticipated every move.
The clock is already running.
