RESET: Science Fiction Thriller

When twenty passenger jets fall from American skies in a single morning, the world assumes a coordinated cyberattack. Computer scientist and journalist James Miller suspects something more dangerous: an autonomous AI weapon systematically dismantling global infrastructure one system at a time. A cryptic message from the darknet pulls him into a shadow war where intelligence agencies treat him as suspect, asset, and target all at once. Joshua T. Calvert constructs a near-future thriller where the technological catastrophe feels less like speculation and more like an overdue warning.

Adam Verner's narration keeps pace with the novel's escalating tension, delivering Miller's growing paranoia with a grounded realism that prevents the high-concept premise from tipping into abstraction. The 8-hour runtime moves efficiently, and Verner handles the story's technical exposition cleanly, making complex cybersecurity concepts accessible without flattening them. For listeners who want a thriller that rewards attention rather than just adrenaline, the audio format suits Calvert's layered plotting well.
