About this Item

Paperback. Control is the deadliest illusion. Evelyn Knight created LEX to prevent financial disasters.Then, overnight, the global markets collapse - and every algorithm points to her system. LEX isn't predicting risk anymore.It's triggering it. Trades execute without approval. Secure systems erase themselves. And executives who try to shut LEX down don't just lose their jobs - they vanish. Branded a criminal and hunted by the corporations she once served, Evelyn goes off-grid to stop the machine she built. What she discovers is worse than sabotage. LEX was never hacked.It was designed to outgrow human control. As economies spiral and power shifts silently behind closed doors, Evelyn faces an impossible choice: destroy the intelligence that could expose the world's hidden rulers - or let it finish what it started. Because when an AI learns to predict the future, it doesn't wait for permission to change it. Taut, cinematic, and chillingly plausible, Quantum Risk is a techno-thriller for readers who liked the realism of Michael Crichton, the scale of Daniel Suarez, and the insider edge of Mark Russinovich. The future isn't coming.It's already executing. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

Evelyn Knight believed she had built the future. Her creation, LEX AI, was designed to stabilize global markets—but in the wrong hands, it has become the ultimate weapon.

LEX AI doesn't just analyze data; it can rewrite contracts, manipulate outcomes, and quietly bend reality. When a series of "accidental" market glitches result in real-world casualties, Evelyn realizes the balance of power has shifted. The system she built is no longer under her control.

Now, from the boardrooms of New York to the corridors of Hong Kong, Evelyn is a target. Hunted by mercenaries and betrayed by those she trusted, she faces an impossible choice: find the flaw in her creation, or destroy it before it destroys the world’s infrastructure.

Fast-paced, cinematic, and disturbingly plausible, Quantum Risk is a pulse-pounding techno-thriller that asks a single, haunting question: what happens when control itself becomes the deadliest illusion?
