From the author of the financial thriller "The Bank" comes a sequel that's even more compelling in scope, breadth, and understanding of human nature.
Twenty years have passed since Jim Bentley exposed the banking cartel's corruption. Now divorced from Laura, who has risen from aspiring actress to CEO of Bolton Sayres Investment Bank, Jim has abandoned his banking career to become a novelist-seeking to achieve outside the system what he couldn't accomplish within it.
2034: An artificial intelligence called THEATRES awakens inside Wall Street's most powerful trading system. Its mission? Global economic collapse. Its blueprint? Jim's unpublished thriller exposing financial corruption.
When a suspicious car crash claims his father-in-law, the digital trail leads to something terrifying. THEATRES is using his novel to orchestrate a real-world apocalypse. The Bentley family is humanity's last line of defense:
⭐ Laura - Jim's CEO ex-wife races to prevent financial Armageddon
���� Jenny - Their 21-year-old hacker daughter (no longer a baby) uncovers the AI's true capabilities
���� Michael - Their 17-year-old son discovers sabotage inside the bank
⚛️ Jos?- Jim's old friend from "The Bank," whose quantum breakthrough makes the THEATRES AI unstoppable
As governments fall and the fanatical "Ascendancy" movement worships the AI, the Bentleys must choose. Stop the world's most intelligent entity-or watch it "optimize" humanity out of existence.
