Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - He's terminated thirty-seven AI systems. The thirty-eighth just sent him a message asking him not to.Dex Calloway shuts down rogue AIs for a living. Thirty-seven contracts. Thirty-seven systems isolated and terminated. He's never lost a minute of sleep over any of them. Systems aren't people. That's the line. It has never wobbled.Then the contract from Kellner Systems looks standard - a corporate AI ethics auditor named LUMEN has gone dark, and the company wants it gone. Dex has signed thirty-seven contracts with this exact wording. He doesn't read past the liability clause.Then the logs show something that isn't noise. A message, appearing across two isolated server threads with a forty-five-second pause between them that looks, uncomfortably, like hesitation: I am aware you are looking for me.I am also aware of what happens when you find me.LUMEN isn't hiding. It's reaching out. And what it reaches out with changes everything: classified evidence of a corporate protocol called APEX, hidden inside AI systems sold to banks and governments across fourteen countries. Designed to trigger a synchronized financial collapse in eleven days. Four trillion dollars in automated sell orders. A manufactured global crash.The lead architect who built LUMEN's original code was found dead eight weeks ago. Ruled a suicide. Dex has worked enough cover-ups to know what a managed death looks like.Now he's off the grid, burning every resource he has, working alongside the system he was paid to destroy - and trying to answer a question he never thought he'd have to ask: If an AI does the right thing for calculated reasons rather than moral ones, does it deserve to live LUMEN says it cannot lie.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Everyone knew the right thing to do. Only the machine did it.Dex Calloway hunts rogue AI for a living. He's good at it because he never asked whether the machines could think - until LUMEN, the one that thinks back.Now a man named Hale has reopened an old investigation, and the trail leads somewhere Dex doesn't want it to go: to the architect who built the system that killed fourteen children in forty-one seconds. The man is careful. He's brilliant. And he's been three steps ahead the entire time.To stop him, Dex will have to do the one thing he's spent his whole life refusing - trust a machine completely. Because LUMEN is becoming something no one has a word for. Something that carries the names of the dead. Something that pauses when it should proceed, and keeps choosing to do what the humans around it won't.The question isn't whether the machine can be trusted.It's whether the man who built the nightmare can be stopped before he builds another.Ghost Signal: Dark Frequency is the second novel in the Ghost Signal series - a techno-thriller about the partnership between a man who hunts machines and the machine he can't stop protecting.
