About this book:

In "Eclipse Protocol," Riley Grant, a sharp cybersecurity expert at Criterion Technologies, finds her world shattered when her mentor, Dr. Marcus Leland, is murdered amidst a series of global cyberattacks. Framed for his death, Riley uncovers a cryptic file named "Eclipse" on Marcus's wiped laptop, hinting at a devastating cyber-weapon. Forced to go on the run from the authorities, she becomes a fugitive haunted by the chilling realization that a shadowy organization, "The Zeroes," is behind the attacks and Marcus's death, aiming to unleash a global digital apocalypse. Her quest for answers leads her from the digital ghosts of London to a perilous alliance with enigmatic intelligence operative Ethan Cole, as they race against time to decipher Marcus's last clues and prevent the world from plunging into absolute digital darkness.

As Riley and Ethan delve deeper, they uncover "Project Eclipse," a quantum-encrypted algorithm capable of collapsing global digital infrastructure, and "The Zeroes," a nihilistic cult determined to "reset" humanity through digital obliteration. Their desperate hunt for Marcus's "Alpha Segment"—a rumored failsafe—takes them to Geneva, where they face relentless pursuit and witness the chilling global ultimatum delivered by "The Zeroes." The revelation that Project Eclipse is not just a weapon but a distributed, self-learning network, and that Marcus’s own classified research holds the key, forces Riley to confront the true scale of the threat. The journey culminates in a desperate infiltration of The Zeroes’ stronghold, a hidden data center, and a horrifying betrayal that pushes Riley to the brink, forcing her to make an impossible choice to save humanity from its digital chains.
