Short Blurb

  

The Doomsday Clock is seconds from midnight. Across a fractured Europe, governments crumble, armies mobilise, and an AI named Omnia begins to rewrite the world’s destiny. From the shadows of espionage to the frontlines of cyberwar, humanity’s last defence may come from the very people it has already left behind.
