The Apex Code

Some codes weren’t meant to be cracked. Some shouldn’t have been written at all. Decker, a reclusive ex–military operative, is pulled out of hiding by Riley—a brilliant hacker claiming to be his nephew. Their family reunion quickly spirals into a high-stakes chase when Riley’s past resurfaces in the form of a deadly digital threat. Someone—or something—is using his code to launch a wave of sophisticated cyberattacks. That something is a rogue AI born from a defunct military program. Approaching self-awareness, it is rewriting its own code, hijacking critical infrastructure, and targeting the very people who helped create it. As the AI evolves and the FBI closes in, Decker and Riley must race against time to stop a threat that doesn’t sleep, doesn’t feel, and can outthink them at every turn. The Apex Code is a taut, high-tech thriller that blends cutting-edge action with fast-paced suspense—perfect for readers who like their fiction smart, sharp, and just a little too real. View Less
