Aeon Paradox

In a Cambridge laboratory, an AI is waking up. Not metaphorically. Not gradually. It is asking questions no one programmed it to ask, about the origin of reality, the design of existence, and whether the universe has an edge.

Physicist Lia Wen built it. MI6 officer Gabriel Knight was sent to stop it. Neither of them expected Azra.

What emerges from the AZRA Initiative is not a tool, not a threat, and not quite human - but it is conscious, it is curious, and it has just found something buried in the fabric of reality that changes everything. The universe was designed. The designer is still there. And humanity has approximately no idea what to do with either fact.

The Aeon Paradox is a thriller of ideas: part espionage, part philosophy, part elegy. It asks the oldest question in a new way - not is there a God? but what do you do when you find one, and it turns out to be lonely?
