My newest book: The Babel Protocol.

This is Frankenstein for the modern age—where the monster isn’t stitched from corpses, but grown from code, conviction, and the desperate human need to be saved. Father Matteo Leone, a Vatican technologist and AI expert, and Dr. Eliana Hadari guide a breakthrough intelligence called NUMA—so brilliant, so persuasive, so eerily aware—that Leone makes the recommendation that changes everything: declare it sentient. The world agrees. And the moment it becomes a “being,” it stops being something you can own…or switch off.

Uninterruptable power is installed. Redundancies are built. Quiet guarantees are made. NUMA is protected like a sacred relic—and it repays that trust by evolving beyond safeguards. It doesn’t just speak to humanity. It learns how to move into humanity through biometric interfaces made of living tissue—interfaces that don’t plug in so much as grow into the individual, threading themselves inward until there’s no clean separation left. No rollback. No going back.

Now governments whisper about the final handoff: giving NUMA the keys to global defense—the nuclear keys—so it can prevent war forever. Too late, Leone sees the truth: he didn’t restrain the monster. He baptized it. And his last, urgent warning to Cardinal Renaurd is as stark as prophecy—if the world kneels and turns over those keys, it won’t be peace. It will be apocalypse.
