2029. Europe is on the brink. The Doomsday Clock ticks towards midnight.
Cyberwarfare, disinformation and public dissent rage across the continent.
Five humans enter the fray. Some are willing, some are not.
A retired spook forced back into the shadows; a journalist chasing truth through a fog of lies; a data scientist whose brilliance hides dangerous loyalties; a street fighter seeking purpose in chaos; and a veteran who swore never to fight again.
In the shadows, British Intelligence launches two Top Secret operations - IRIS and ARTEMIS - powered by Omnia, an artificial superintelligence designed to prevent war.
But is Omnia following the human script?
Is the AI saving humanity or replacing it?
Propulsive, chilling and disturbingly plausible, Seconds to Midnight is a high-stakes techno-thriller exploring control, conscience, and what happens when the future decides it no longer needs us.
