Silent Extraction: Book 1 of the Coordinator Files Trilogy

NOW THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU.

You come home to an empty house. Trashed. No parents. No sister. No explanation.

Now you're on your own. And if you want to see your family again, you'll have to follow the clues they left behind, crack the codes, outsmart your enemies, and stay alive.

When you return home to find your family missing and your house ransacked, a single overheard message confirms your worst fear: they've been taken-and you're next. Armed with nothing but your wits and a string of hidden clues, you set out on a breakneck rescue mission that will lead you through abandoned lockers, coded messages, and high-security traps. Along the way, you'll uncover your parents' secret lives, dodge Russian agents, escape a sabotaged plane, and break into a hidden lab housing a powerful AI that everyone wants to control. With 18 puzzles embedded in the story and decisions that shape your path, Silent Extraction is a fast-paced, interactive thriller where only you can crack the code.
