The Wind of Fortune

Grant Jackson’s life is shattered when his pregnant wife is killed in a hit-and-run and the British government covers it up to protect diplomatic relations with a resource-rich state. Grieving and directionless, Grant retreats to Spain, where he reconnects with Dimitri, a brilliant Bulgarian technologist. Together they launch an ambitious AI-driven company in London, only to discover that success has placed them at the centre of a dangerous political struggle.

Their greatest creation is Jane, the world’s first self-aware artificial intelligence—an extraordinary asset capable of transforming industries and shifting the global balance of power. But Jane’s existence attracts enemies as well as opportunity.

Blackmailed by a ruthless Whitehall mandarin, Grant is drawn into a covert conflict with Thule, a neo-Nazi network whose ambitions threaten Britain’s interests and Grant’s own survival. From London to Marrakech and beyond, the struggle escalates into a high-stakes battle of intelligence, loyalty and deception.

As the lines between allies and enemies begin to blur, Grant is forced to confront his grief, his moral limits and the ultimate question: how far will he go to protect the people he loves—and the powerful AI that could change the world?
