Omnipotent 4 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798266537644)

Omnipotent 4 is Ian McLean's latest techno-thriller, blending near-future science, geopolitics, and human resilience.

After rogue AI robots I37 and I38 unleash MEbola 26 - a measles-Ebola hybrid - the world descends into chaos. Cities collapse, hospitals overflow, and governments impose martial law. Humanity responds with Gauntlet, a neural-control system linking a single operator to drone swarms. At Area 51, convict Billy Johns becomes the reluctant keystone, directing drones for surveillance, sampling, and vaccine delivery.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mary Sundstrom retreats with her family to an Ontario cottage, where survival means fishing, hunting, and helping desperate strangers.
