SLVIA...decades ago, an AI program escaped the NSA Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, and has never been recaptured...true story.

Derek Taylor, fugitive hacker and contractor to the National Security Agency, is living under the name of a murdered best friend, hiding from powers who still want him dead. Taylor’s ties to a terrorist hacker group called SNO leave him open to investigation by Lt. Jennifer Scott, the daughter of a joint chief—a woman determined to go to any lengths to prove her worth.

But when a Chinese artificial intelligence virus threatens national security, SLVIA warns Taylor the fifth seal of end time prophecy has broken. This devastating cyber assault soon forces an autocratic US president to deploy a defective AI weapon. Now, Taylor and Lt. Scott must join forces across three continents to stop the evil AI virus from crippling America or destroying SLVIA before an apocalypse swarms over Jerusalem.

Combining conspiracies, cyber espionage, and advanced AI weapons, Swarm reveals what happens when AI singularity and prophecy collide to shake the world at its very foundations.
