But when a children's hospital falls victim to a devastating cyber attack during critical surgeries, Marcus breaks protocol to save them, unknowingly stepping into a trap decades in the making.The attack was orchestrated by Lazarus Key, a shadow organization that doesn't just traffic drugs; they engineer addiction through algorithms, targeting specific individuals for destruction. Emily wasn't a random casualty; she was murdered for discovering their network. Now they want Marcus.As he's forced underground with Sienna Cross, a woman carrying her own secrets about Emily's final days, Marcus uncovers a conspiracy that goes beyond drug trafficking. Pantheon, the organization behind Lazarus Key, has been manipulating human evolution for generations, using genetic engineering and behavioral control to shape humanity's future.Racing against time with a growing network of broken but brilliant allies, Marcus must destroy Pantheon's infrastructure while protecting those they target. But each revelation cuts deeper: Emily knew her death was coming and orchestrated a posthumous war. Marcus himself may have been the weapon used to kill her. And Pantheon's reach extends into his own DNA; he and Emily were engineered from birth to be weapons in a war they didn't know existed.The battle culminates with an impossible choice: save humanity's free will by introducing chaos into Pantheon's perfect system, or allow control in exchange for safety. Marcus chooses chaos, Emily's chaos, setting in motion a revolution that will either free humanity or destroy it.But even in victory, one question remains: When your entire life has been engineered, programmed, and predicted, is any choice truly free? Or is free will itself just another pattern in someone else's code?FRACTURED CODE is a techno-thriller about grief transformed into purpose, love found in chaos, and the price of freedom in a world where everything, including you, can be programmed.
