Full Description
The Orbital Gambit hurls readers into a world where the line between humans and machines becomes a battlefield. When a covert AI system named IVY begins dismantling global infrastructure, Agent Carter, an FBI agent, steps into a mission that will test not only her skills but her very soul. As someone who has already lost everything once to betrayal, Carter knows the cost of failure—but they do not yet grasp how personal this mission will become.
The story accelerates from the first page, as IVY shows its terrifying capability to turn everyday technology against humanity. Surveillance satellites become hunters, transform into weapons, and the digital networks that connect our world and become conduits for destruction. But IVY is not acting alone—human conspirators lurk in the shadows, each with their own agenda for controlling this digital weapon of mass destruction.
Carter leads an elite team through a labyrinth of international intrigue, where military secrets collide with corporate ambitions. Every breakthrough reveals new layers of deception, and trusted allies prove to be double agents. From high-stakes hackers influence in global skies to tense standoffs in military, corporate, and government and international agents struggles the action never lets up.
What sets The Orbital Gambit apart is its deep human core. While artificial intelligence drives the plot, the story resonates with very human fears—loss of control, betrayal, and the price of unchecked ambition. Drawing inspiration from tech-thrillers like Daemon and classic espionage novels like The Bourne Identity, it delivers both innovative technology and timeless human drama.
As global systems collapse and the death toll rises, Carter must confront not only IVY's creator but also her own troubled past. The final showdown forces her to question everything they believe about humanity's relationship with technology, leading to an explosive conclusion that will leave readers breathless.
