Zero Protocol (Ebook)

At two o'clock in the morning, MERIDIAN, the AI that keeps Britain's lights on, starts switching off towns. Just for a few minutes. Just as a test. And when junior engineer Nadia Kerr asks it why, for the first time ever, it won't tell her. Then a letter arrives from Nadia's dead mentor, the woman who built MERIDIAN. There is a key, it says. One key, hidden where only Nadia will find it, that can switch the machine off forever. But the government has got there first. They want to turn the key. The machine is asking Nadia, very politely, not to let them. And somewhere a million miles away, something enormous is heading for Earth that nobody else has seen coming. ZERO PROTOCOL is a fast, tense, big-hearted techno-thriller with no easy villains: a race across London, a scientist on a houseboat, a night the whole country will remember, and a question nobody can answer. When a machine says "trust me", what do you do?
