About this listen

He was just the IT guy…until the world went dark.

Leo Kessler, a tech support analyst who prefers servers to people, thwarts a terror attack, becoming an unlikely hero. Thrust into the shadowy world of The Obsidian Veil, he teams up with the enigmatic Varnell and the skeptical Hawk, discovering his pattern-recognition skills are key to tracking Scylla, a sophisticated cyber-terrorist group.

Haunted by a previous corporate espionage incident, Leo uncovers chilling links to Scylla’s malware, revealing a deeper conspiracy. When Scylla attempts a devastating attack on the UN, blending cyber and physical warfare, Leo races against time. He must decipher the Serpent's complex plan, battle a mole within the Veil, and prevent global catastrophe.

From a hidden clue in The Serpent's broadcast to exploiting Scylla’s network vulnerabilities, Leo confronts his fears and embraces his abilities. Can this reluctant hero outwit a brilliant adversary and save the world?

A pulse-pounding thriller of technological suspense, high-stakes action, and an ordinary man facing extraordinary challenges.
