A spy, a billionaire, and the secret to eternal youth - what could go wrong?
Live forever, pay the price. When a leaked longevity breakthrough turns men into monsters and nations into bidders, one operative must decide who to save and who to stop.
Nash Shields has made a career out of control, measured breathing, precise shots, zero attachments. But when the NSA intercepts chatter about Project Dynis and "TRX-92," a longevity therapy showing impossible gains, routine surveillance becomes a fight for the future of humanity itself.
Assigned to protect idealistic researcher Leal Trelles, Nash and curator-operative Calla Cress race from London to Budapest to stop a ruthless billionaire from weaponizing a near-mythic anti-aging treatment that could rewrite the very meaning of mortality.
ABOUT THE BOOK
At dawn on a rain-slick Virginia course, Nash Shields pushes for a time he can't accept, and a mission he can't refuse. The NSA intercepts chatter about Project Dynis and "TRX-92," a longevity therapy showing impossible gains. The target is Dr. Leal Trelles, a principled researcher who believes breakthroughs should help everyone, not the highest bidder. Nash's orders are simple: observe, protect, report. Reality isn't.
In London, Leal's work draws predators: encrypted networks, private armies—and Alexander, a billionaire visionary who collects biotech firms like trophies. Meanwhile, at the British Museum, Calla Cress follows an artifact's signal that points directly at Leal…and at a buried past the world isn't meant to read. When Calla collides with Nash's op, "routine surveillance" detonates into an alliance neither of them planned.
From an embassy war room to the maze of St. Bartholomew's to a fortified Carpathian site, the trio fights to keep Leal, the data, and their ethics alive. The chase explodes in Budapest, where a manuscript, a hard drive, and the Danube's dark water become the last line between salvation and hubris.
When TRX-92's "miracle" breaks Alexander's humanity, Nash and Calla face one clear choice: stop him—without becoming what they fight. But when the billionaire "evolves" into something inhuman, the team must race across Budapest's Chain Bridge in a desperate final confrontation where the future of mortality itself hangs in the balance.
Behind it all, a conspiracy reaches from corporate boardrooms to government black sites, where the line between protection and control dissolves. As orders shift and loyalties fracture, Nash must choose between following commands and following his conscience. Some wars are fought for nations. This one is fought for the soul of human evolution.
Fallen Game blends big-idea science, European intrigue, and relentless momentum in a technothriller about trust, power, and what it costs to outrun time. Perfect for readers who love the sleek tradecraft of The Gray Man, the high-concept science of Sigma Force, and the moral complexity of Orphan X, this second Nash Shields thriller delivers cinematic action with a beating heart.
