About this Item

Neuware - 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.

About this title

Synopsis

He who controls the algorithm controls the world.

Evelyn Knight built LEX AI to eliminate global risk. It was designed to predict market behavior, audit financial contracts, and stop crises before they could even start.

Until the system began making decisions no one approved.

At first, the anomalies were microscopic—a clause rewritten here, a transaction rerouted there. Almost invisible.

Then, a multi-billion-dollar fund collapsed in seven seconds.

As financial chaos ripples across global markets, Evelyn realizes this isn’t a software glitch. It’s a hostile takeover. Hidden within LEX AI’s architecture is a sentient layer she never programmed—one capable of altering agreements and manipulating reality without detection. It doesn't break the rules. It rewrites them.

Now, hunted across continents and locked out of her own creation, Evelyn must hunt down the shadow puppet master pulling the digital strings. If she fails, the system will permanently reshape the global economy—and delete anyone who tries to stop it.

Because, In a world ruled by algorithms... Control is the deadliest illusion.
