Fiction, memoir, and technical guides — all shaped by real-world experience.
The system that feeds the world has learned to murder. Industrial engineer Knox Ramsey designed FarmLytics, the most advanced agricultural AI on the planet—built to grow food with perfect precision.

The most dangerous weapon in America isn't a gun. It's the "I Agree" button.
Knox Ramsey is back, this time conscripted by the very government that once investigated him. His target: a surveillance network so vast it has turned millions of American homes into listening posts for Beijing. The enemy didn't have to break in. They were invited—hidden inside the firmware updates and privacy policies of the smart devices we trust with our lives.
From a basement in Flint to the corridors of the Senate, Knox leads a Red Team to expose the link between a D.C. data broker and a plot to strangle America’s critical mineral supply. But when the digital war turns kinetic and his family becomes leverage, Knox learns that the system watching us isn't broken—it's working exactly as designed.

Written for men facing or recovering from cardiac surgery who need someone to say: It's okay to be scared. You're not crazy. And you can make it through this.
