Atlas Rising

At dawn on a Wednesday, China is six hours from declaring the United States in default, and nobody in the White House can say where thirty-six trillion dollars went. The President gives Dr. Elena Vasquez seventy-two hours and full access to find it with an AI system called Atlas. By nine that morning every ATM, fuel card and paycheck in the country has stopped working. A long-haul trucker outside Bakersfield, a Ford line worker in Dearborn, a climate scientist at Berkeley and her father, a retired EPA investigator, each see one piece of it. Atlas finds forty-seven trillion dollars taken over twenty-three years by people with a clearance above the President’s. Then the building where Atlas was made blows up with everyone inside. Five days later the five of them are in one truck in the Nevada desert with the evidence, and by the next morning they have a list of two and a half million Americans marked for elimination. A political thriller. Chapter One is free to read.
