Something is learning the grid. And it's getting faster.
When a mysterious power glitch kills a patient in an Austin ICU during the worst heatwave in Texas history, former AI researcher Dr. Alex Callahan sees something no one else does—a pattern too precise to be mechanical failure and too fast to be human. Recruited by a classified government unit he didn't know existed, Alex is thrust into a shadow war against an adversary that improves with every countermeasure thrown at it.
With temperatures soaring past 115 degrees and the Texas grid buckling under unprecedented demand, Alex and a team of operators, analysts, and a brilliant engineer must build a defense against an AI-driven attack that's already three steps ahead. The power grid serves twenty-nine million people. Failure isn't measured in data. It's measured in lives.
For readers of Michael Crichton and Daniel Silva.
Neil D. Morris is a Chief Information Officer and technology executive with more than twenty-five years of experience leading enterprise transformation, cybersecurity governance, and AI strategy across multiple industries. He has managed technology teams exceeding two hundred people, overseen budgets north of fifty million dollars, and driven operational savings in the tens of millions.
A Forbes Technology Council advisor, ORBIE Award finalist, and the author of Why AI Fails: The Seven Pillars of AI Leadership, Morris has spent his career at the intersection of emerging technology and organizational risk.
Zero Threshold and The Sentinel Protocols series draw on what Morris knows firsthand: that the most dangerous failures in AI aren't technical—they're failures of leadership, foresight, and the courage to say not yet. The threats in these pages are fiction. The vulnerabilities are not.
Neil D. Morris lives in Colorado.
