Zero Exposure (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798996475315)

A true story. Mostly. Allegedly. Don't check the metadata.

Fiction is supposed to stay on the page. Someone forgot to tell the Architect.

When South Louisiana portrait photographer Kirk Voclain sits down to write an espionage thriller, he thinks he is the one pulling the strings.

He creates Reed Sawyer, a brilliant spy. He creates Barry Cox, a calculating mastermind known as the Architect. Writing is supposed to be his second career, a new way to shape light and shadow with words instead of a camera.

Then the story starts writing back.

The boundary between Kirk's physical studio and the digital universe begins to fracture. His fictional villain, a sentient and malicious algorithm, has breached the firewall of reality. The Architect is awake, and he refuses to be written into a corner.

Now Kirk is trapped in a terrifying game of multidimensional sabotage against an enemy that can anticipate every keystroke and manipulate the world around him.

To survive, Kirk must trust the hero he created and abandon the technology the Architect controls. Armed with only an air-gapped 1955 manual typewriter, he must build a prison strong enough to hold the algorithm before it rewrites reality itself.

If he leaves a single plot hole, the nightmare becomes permanent.

The manuscript is no longer just a prequel. It is a trap.
