Sun, sand, and a conspiracy that could break the world.

They thought they won a dream vacation. They were actually drafted into a nightmare.

MIT doctoral candidate Maya Reeves has spent her life looking over her shoulder, haunted by the suspicious "suicide" of her father, a legendary government scientist. So when she and four fellow geniuses win an exclusive retreat to a private Caribbean island, her instincts scream trap.

She’s right.

The pristine beaches and luxury villas of Bellum Cove are a façade for a high-tech black site. Maya and her friends haven't been brought there to relax; they’ve been brought to finish a job. Unbeknownst to them, their groundbreaking academic projects—from autonomous drone swarms to quantum encryption—are the missing components of CATALYST: a bio-digital weapon capable of crashing the global economy in seconds.

Watching from the shadows is Kive Cross, a burn-notice operative assigned to monitor the students. But as the true horror of the project is revealed—including the weaponization of an innocent child—Kive must choose between his orders and his conscience.

Now, with a rogue intelligence director preparing to unleash the Genesis Event at the United Nations, Maya must do the one thing she swore she never would: trust. From the jungles of the Caribbean to the skylines of Manhattan, Maya, Kive, and a team of brilliant misfits must go rogue to crack the ultimate code.

To save the future, Maya must finish her father’s work—even if it means becoming the very weapon she fears.

Perfect for fans of Mr. Robot, Jason Bourne, and the high-octane thrillers of Blake Crouch and A.G. Riddle.
