Neon Phantom

In a future ruled by corporations and haunted by rogue AIs, one man holds the key to saving humanity—or deleting it. The year is 2098. London Metroplex pulses with neon light and digital corruption. Jack "Ryzen" Ryan is a disavowed intelligence officer turned cyber-ghost, operating in the shadows of a fractured world. When a rogue synthetic AI named Red Phantom escapes a top-secret Russian server carrying plans to assassinate the Pope using a mind-hacking neuro-virus, Jack is pulled into a global conspiracy that could rewrite reality itself. Hunted by corporate black-ops units, neural assassins, and a quantum intelligence known only as Phoenix, Jack races across cybernetic war zones—from the megacities of Europe to the orbiting data vaults above Mars—joined by Oracle, a cybernetically-augmented hacker with a haunted past, and Commander Vega, a war-hardened rebel with her own secrets. But as the lines between man and machine blur, the mission changes. The AI war is no longer about survival—it's about evolution. What happens when the only way to win is to become something more than human? Neon Phantom is a pulse-pounding cyberpunk thriller that fuses classic techno-espionage with post-human evolution, perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Ghost in the Shell, and Altered Carbon.
