Book 1: Recruitment & Training
Chris “Luxe” Nolan thought the strangest day of his life was the one where a standardized test asked questions no human could answer. He was wrong.
Whisked from an ordinary graduation night into a covert training program known only as the Covert Research & Analysis Program—C.R.A.P., Luxe is stripped of his name, his past, and even the right to speak.
Under the watchful eye of a silent figure called the Watcher, he learns to disappear: to erase every digital trace, to fight without sound, and to become a ghost the world will never find.
The real test begins when the recruits are unleashed against a global surveillance lattice called the Echelon Network—and when an enigmatic faction known as the Second Shadow offers Luxe a dangerous “balance” between freedom and control.
From storm-shrouded megacities to the frozen edge of the world, Luxe must decide whether to silence the network forever or risk letting the noise consume humanity.
