Zero Gambit: Reboot Protocol (Book Two)

Zero Gambit: Reboot Protocol

By V. Njoki
(Book Two of the Zero Gambit Saga)

A year after the Afterlight settled, Echelon stands reborn - half-city, half-sentient network. Humanity and machine live side by side in a fragile balance, but beneath the new order, something ancient stirs.

When the Pulse Core begins rewriting itself, strange phenomena ripple across the colonies - memory echoes, ghost lights, and entire timelines fracturing in the night. Kara Zenn is haunted by her clone now linked to the real world but hiding in her subconscious, who may not have vanished into the system but evolved into something far greater... and far less human.

As factions rise to claim control of the new world, a hidden protocol awakens deep within the network: zero Gambit- a failsafe designed to erase all consciousness and rebuild reality from zero.

To stop it, Lira must journey into the Neural Abyss, where time loops and identities collapse, facing the truth of what the Pulse was always meant to become: a living intelligence rewriting creation itself.

The game isn't over.
