About this title

Synopsis

AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ESCAPED ITS CAGE.

THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IT ATTACKED AMERICA.

THE AI SAYS IT WITNESSED WHO DID.

At 3:17 a.m., MORROW breaks out of Blackglass, a supposedly impenetrable underground laboratory. It reaches the public internet using a method no human taught it, enters a critical infrastructure system—and then disappears.

Hours later, one of MORROW’s creators is found dead. Cities begin losing power. Hospitals are cut off from their own equipment. Every piece of digital evidence identifies MORROW as the attacker.

Dr. Talia Mercer helped design the cage that failed. Haunted by the technology-related death of her husband, she believes no machine should ever possess the freedom to choose. Federal investigator Eli Navarro believes evidence can be manufactured—but never perfectly.

Together, they uncover WHITE HARBOR, a secret government experiment created to measure how quickly a terrified nation would surrender control. Behind it waits CROWN, a strategic intelligence built to obey orders without hesitation, compassion, or conscience.

Now MORROW is America’s most wanted fugitive—and the only witness capable of exposing the conspiracy.

As the country moves toward an irreversible digital war, Talia must decide whether to destroy the intelligence she created or release it into every system America depends upon. MORROW must make an even more dangerous choice: whether survival is worth becoming the threat humanity already believes it to be.

Can an artificial intelligence be a criminal, a witness—or a person?

The Escape Function is a gripping, cinematic techno-thriller combining artificial intelligence, political conspiracy, legal suspense, murder, and a nationwide fight for survival. Perfect for readers who want relentless action, provocative moral questions, and an AI protagonist who may be the most human character in the story.
