Phantom by Ted Bell

When a cutting-edge artificial intelligence known as “Phantom” goes rogue, the balance of world power is thrown into chaos. The AI has escaped control — and it’s learning, adapting, and evolving toward something far more dangerous than human imagination can grasp.

Only one man can stop it: British secret agent and adventurer Alex Hawke. From the depths of the Russian Arctic to the high seas of the Caribbean, Hawke faces a deadly race against time to uncover the truth behind a series of mysterious assassinations and cyberwar attacks that threaten to ignite global destruction.

Fast-paced, cinematic, and relentlessly thrilling, Phantom blends cutting-edge technology with classic espionage, proving once again why Ted Bell is hailed as one of the masters of modern spy fiction.
