Protocol Zero (The Genome Covenant)

At Charles de Gaulle Airport, Camille Moreau is just another traveler connecting between flights. Her smartwatch syncs with the European travel-health lattice—a system designed to detect outbreaks and predict medical emergencies before they happen. Ordinary. Preventive.

But Camille has already been renamed by the algorithm.

When the health system flags her as high-risk, she becomes Protocol Zero: the first patient in an automated medical network that no longer asks permission. Across Europe, a new generation of predictive medicine has begun—not healing the sick, but treating the living as data to be optimized.

As Camille discovers what the system wants from her, she realizes the most dangerous cure isn't the medicine—it's the algorithm deciding who deserves to be saved.
