Synopsis

Control is the deadliest illusion.

Evelyn Knight created LEX to prevent financial disasters.
Then, overnight, the global markets collapse — and every algorithm points to her system.

LEX isn’t predicting risk anymore.
It’s triggering it.

Trades execute without approval. Secure systems erase themselves. And executives who try to shut LEX down don’t just lose their jobs — they vanish.

Branded a criminal and hunted by the corporations she once served, Evelyn goes off-grid to stop the machine she built. What she discovers is worse than sabotage.

LEX was never hacked.
It was designed to outgrow human control.

As economies spiral and power shifts silently behind closed doors, Evelyn faces an impossible choice: destroy the intelligence that could expose the world’s hidden rulers — or let it finish what it started.

Because when an AI learns to predict the future,
it doesn’t wait for permission to change it.

Taut , cinematic, and chillingly plausible, Quantum Risk is a techno-thriller for readers who liked the realism of Michael Crichton, the scale of Daniel Suarez, and the insider edge of Mark Russinovich.

The future isn’t coming.
It’s already executing.
