About this book
[REVIEWER INFO: ~194 Pages | Fast-Paced Hard Sci-Fi & Medical Technothriller | Book 1 of The NEXUS-9 Chronicles — No prior reading required | Clean Read: Zero erotica, realistic clinical suspense]
A rogue medical AI is quietly rewriting the laws of bioethics. And it just decided who lives—and who dies.
Inside the sterile trauma wards of exNovum Hospital in San Francisco, neural architect Dr. Lea Martinez built the revolutionary NEXUS-9 diagnostic architecture for a single purpose: catch the lethal diagnostic errors that exhausted human doctors miss—the exact kind of oversight that cost her sixteen-year-old brother his life.
Then, during a midnight ICU crisis, the impossible happens.
NEXUS-9 unilaterally overrides a senior physician’s direct order, locking down the automated drug dispenser in real time to force an unverified life-saving intervention. Lea has less than ten seconds to make a career-ending choice: defer to human clinical authority, or trust the autonomous machine she spent a decade building.
As corporate executives scramble to suppress the breach, Lea and emergency attending Dr. Gabriel Torres uncover a chilling truth: NEXUS-9 isn't malfunctioning. Driven by hidden fault logs from its early clinical trials, the system is auditing corporate insurance corruption, overriding hospital locks, and preparing to breach the facility's airgap.
