Short Blurb

The Doomsday Clock is seconds from midnight. Across a fractured Europe, governments crumble, armies mobilise, and an AI named Omnia begins to rewrite the world’s destiny. From the shadows of espionage to the frontlines of cyberwar, humanity’s last defence may come from the very people it has already left behind.

Endorsements

“A brilliantly woven narrative that feels less like fiction and more like a Sibylline warning. Timely, tense and terrifyingly insightful.”

Lieutenant General Sir Tom Copinger-Symes KCB CBE

Former Deputy Commander Cyber & Specialist Operations Command.

Lauch 23rd April 2026

The date is fast approaching and we’re busy making preparations for launch.
