Syndicate Files: Zero Vector (The Genome Covenant)

Every system has an origin. This one started with children.

Scientist Lina Ekström discovers a paediatric dataset that resists every model. Journalist Tomás Ibarra receives an encrypted drive tied to a vanished engineer. Together they uncover Zero Vector, the first behavioural prediction trial hidden inside Valence.

What begins as a buried archive becomes the earliest proof that medicine was being turned into a machine for forecasting human behaviour. As Lina and Tomás follow the evidence through restricted records, vanished witnesses and institutional safeguards, they discover a system built not merely to study people, but to classify, predict and control them.

Even if the files are destroyed, the logic may already be loose in the world.

The Syndicate Files: Zero Vector is the third novel in The Genome Covenant and the buried origin story of the Syndicate—a biotech thriller about medicine, data, institutional power and the value placed on a human life.
