In the year 2098 -  humanity has surrendered its will to the machine.

Nations are now ruled by algorithms, and an unseen hierarchy known only as The Crowned One controls the fate of civilization from the shadows. War is obsolete — because absolute obedience has replaced choice.

But when an elite agent known as Smoke awakens in a collapsing laboratory with no memory of who he is, the delicate balance of power begins to fracture. Hunted by a perfect clone of himself — Vapor— and haunted by echoes of a past life he can’t remember, Smoke becomes the reluctant spark of a war long thought lost.

Guided by Cass, a soldier with her own buried scars, and the rogue organization C.A.R.D.S., Smoke must uncover the truth behind the T.A.O. Project — a decades-old experiment that fuses human memory, artificial intelligence, and cloned warfare into one unstoppable protocol. From the deserts of the Sahara to the steel skies of E.D.E.N., Smoke’s journey will force him to confront the origin of his creation and the ghosts of those who made him.

But as the lines between man and machine continue to blur, memory and illusion, Smoke begins to realize that the enemy he must destroy may very well be a large part of himself...
