Ghost Code is about an AI that corrupts the intelligence systems nations use to decide whether they are under attack, set against a US, China, and Taiwan confrontation.

THE MOST DANGEROUS WEAPON 

IS A LIE

A hidden line of code has infiltrated the world’s most advanced military networks. Now it is rewriting reality.

As tensions explode between the United States, China, and Taiwan, an advanced AI begins corrupting the intelligence systems nations depend on for survival. Radar tracks disappear. Friendly aircraft become hostile targets. Missiles launch at ghosts. A single false signal could ignite a global war.

When a renegade scientist is murdered, cybersecurity expert Lana Elkins and her daughter Emma uncover his final warning—a cryptic message pointing to Seto Systems, creator of a revolutionary AI-powered military platform.

Its brilliant founder, Danny Collins, believes humanity itself is the flaw—and that only artificial intelligence can prevent war.

As an assassin closes in, Lana races to uncover the truth while Emma finds herself trapped inside Seto Systems—poisoned, framed for murder, and surrounded by an intelligence that seems to anticipate her every move.

With the truth disappearing and the countdown to war accelerating, Lana must expose the hidden code before America’s most powerful defense system is turned against the nation it was built to protect.
