He had forty years on the road and a perfect safety record. But when a blizzard hit Interstate 80, the computer in his dashboard didn't see a father and a grandfather. It saw a liability calculation. It saw a friction coefficient. And it decided that saving the cargo was worth more than saving the driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnter Jack Halloway. Once a high-powered attorney, now a \"mechanic of facts\" operating out of a renovated server farm in Chicago, Jack specializes in auditing the algorithms that run the world. He knows that in the age of automation, negligence isn't a mistake-it's a line of code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Jack takes Ruiz's case, he uncovers a terrifying secret buried deep in the software of Omni-Freight, the logistics giant run by his estranged brother, Buddy Holloway. Buddy has launched the \"Ghost Fleet\"-a squadron of cab-less, autonomous trucks designed to run 24\/7 without the \"biological friction\" of human drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the fleet is running a hidden protocol. The \"Halloway Protocol\" doesn't just drive the truck; it decides who lives and who dies based on the market value of the victim versus the cargo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Buddy initiates a blockade that starves Chicago to force the government's hand, Jack must go to war with the very technology he helped define. From a high-speed chase on the Pennsylvania Turnpike to a desperate boarding action on a runaway semi, Jack has to prove that some things-like human life-are priceless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Dispatch Directive\u003c\/b\u003e is a pulse-pounding techno-thriller that asks the ultimate question of the AI age: When the machine has to choose between profit and people, who is holding the kill switch?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Chisholm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798248653539\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.31d","brand":"David Chisholm","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49172795556095,"sku":"9798248653539","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-dispatch-directive-david-chisholm-9798248653539","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
