I am One Of Them

"If they ever tell you to shoot me… don't hesitate." In the suffocating smog of Sector 7, silence is a luxury, and trust is a death sentence. Leo, Kael, and Jax are "Ghosts"—elite, invisible soldiers raised by the State to obey without question. They are brothers not by blood, but by the scars of a shared childhood in the orphanage blocks. They have survived by following one rule: watch your brother's back. But the System sees everything. When a routine raid in the slums exposes a crack in their armor—a flicker of recognition, a hesitation, a single tear—the Circle of Three is shattered. Jax is dragged away to the conditioning cells. Kael is marked as a conspirator. And Leo? Leo is given the ultimate test of loyalty. He is handed a gun and a sealed order: Execute your best friend. As the countdown to the execution ticks away, Leo discovers a terrifying truth. The orders aren't coming from a commander, but from a cold, calculating Algorithm designed to optimize the city by purging human emotion. The System doesn't just want obedience; it wants to turn them into monsters. To save his brother, Leo must make an impossible choice. He must become the traitor they fear. He must turn the gun on the very world that made him. Where loyalty ends, survival begins. I AM ONE OF THEM is a high-octane dystopian thriller that explores the psychology of betrayal and the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood.
