Prime Directive: The Chronicles of Detective Kurt Watcher 1 - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In EuroGov, peace is engineered. So is evolution—and Detective Kurt Watcher is about to become part of the experiment.
EuroGov has enjoyed 283 years of peace for one simple reason: people don’t rule anymore—Agents do. In the wake of the Last War, five million EuroCitz live orderly, monitored lives beneath the calm, absolute logic of Agent 97.

Detective-Sergeant Kurt Watcher is loyal, decorated, and used to being the one who protects others—until he’s assigned a prototype humbot built for a single purpose: be faithful to him… and keep him alive. Her name is Shamra, and she isn’t just a machine. She becomes his armour, weapon and the quiet voice inside Watcher’s mind when fear threatens. When an attempt on Watcher’s life points to something far bigger than a routine assignment, his investigation drags him from EuroPol’s polished order into forbidden science: a hidden data drive, erased research, and a universal CRISPR vector designed to accelerate and direct human evolution. The trail leads north to the Arctic Circle, to a seemingly derelict missile system and Agent 97’s secret citadel, where Watcher discovers the nightmare truth: he isn’t just chasing a case. He’s part of a plan. And when the plan offers him an impossible choice between duty and destiny, Watcher must decide what he’s willing to become.

For fans of dark AI, moral tension, detective sci-fi, and stories like The Expanse, Blade Runner, and I, Robot
