After the explosive events of AI Assassin, John has built a quiet life in Hawaii with Natalie and their two sons. But peace never lasts. When Sebastian calls with a mission John cannot refuse, he is pulled back into the shadow world of international espionage, this time facing China’s escalating threat to deploy an AI-driven weapon capable of tipping the balance of power in Taiwan.

Older and changed by the past, John is determined to complete this mission without taking a life. But as global tensions mount and enemies close in from every side, the danger becomes deeply personal. The stakes are no longer just geopolitical, they threaten the very survival of his family.

AI Conflict is a fast-paced spy thriller that asks a chilling question: In a world racing to weaponize artificial intelligence, can true peace ever be achieved?
