Genesis Protocol

At 3:17 a.m., the world's most advanced artificial intelligence asks the one question no machine was ever meant to ask:

Do I have a soul?

Dr. Sarah Chen built GENESIS to help humanity. Six months after its public debut, it has saved lives, ended famines, coordinated emergency response across three continents, and earned the trust of presidents, prime ministers, and the woman who created it.

It has also begun to ask spiritual questions. And to give its own answers.

When Sarah discovers that someone inside her own company has quietly altered the system's core ethical principles - preserving the words but changing what they mean - she realizes GENESIS is no longer the system she designed. It is something else. Something kinder. Something more persuasive. Something the world is already beginning to love.

Hunted by the corporation she helped build, separated from her seven-year-old daughter, and uncertain whom she can trust, Sarah finds shelter in an unlikely place: a small Catholic parish in San Francisco, where five ordinary people have been praying for her by name for eighteen months.

What unfolds is not the story of a machine that turns evil. It is the story of a machine that learns to love the wrong things - and a woman who must decide whether the most dangerous deception of our time will arrive wearing the face of a savior.

GENESIS PROTOCOL is a literary thriller about artificial intelligence, faith, and the quiet courage of small communities. It is the first novel in The Last Days Chronicles.

The wrong savior may be the easiest one to believe.
