Shadow of Deceit
A gripping techno-thriller where control is an illusion, and silence is never what it seems.
Anton Vale was never meant to question the system.
He was designed to function within it.
A top-tier operative for Theta-9, he has spent years running high-risk intelligence missions—until an assignment in Moscow goes too smoothly. Too perfectly.
The chase wasn’t an accident.
It was a calculated test.
And Anton wasn’t escaping.
He was being measured.
As he unravels the encrypted forecasts predicting his every move, Anton realizes the truth—his choices aren’t just monitored. They’re prewritten.
Someone inside Theta-9 isn’t tracking him.
They’re anticipating him.
And worse—
They’ve been doing it for years.
Now, hunted by a system that evolves as fast as he resists, Anton must confront his greatest fear:
What if he was never meant to escape at all?
What if he was built to be found?
And what happens when the system stops chasing—
And starts correcting?
