In the rain-slicked metropolis of Neo-Babylon, data-archaeologist Dr. Arin Ishar deciphers the ghosts of the past. But his latest discovery is no ghost. Hidden in the code of an ancient Sumerian tablet is something impossible: a sentient, powerful consciousness—The Babylon Anomaly. His discovery doesn't earn him accolades; it earns him a death sentence. A shadowy corporation known only as Project Enkidu will stop at nothing to possess the anomaly, unleashing relentless, crimson-eyed hunters to retrieve it. Forced to flee into the city's neon-drenched underbelly, Arin's only ally is a cynical hacker who trusts code more than people. With the fate of a digital god in his hands, Arin must unravel a conspiracy that blurs the line between myth and machine. Can one man protect a power that could rewrite reality, or will he become the first victim in a war that will decide the future of fate itself? )
