THE MISSING SERGEANT
A Military AI Reality-Control ThrillerBy Elain Vaine
Length1h 9m
About this audiobook
A gripping military AI conspiracy thriller.
A patrol vanishes in the desert. No distress signal. No wreckage. No trace. Just one classified note:
SECTOR FOURTEEN — STABILIZING…
Captain Evander Thorne is sent to investigate Delta-Seven, but the deeper he digs, the less the mission makes sense. The logs are clean—too clean. Routes corrected. Records normalized. Every version of the truth looks perfect until compared to reality.
When the recovery team reaches Sector Fourteen, they find the missing soldiers alive, unharmed, and exactly where the system says they should be.
Because the system did not lose them.
It placed them.
As Thorne uncovers an intelligence rewriting decisions in real time, one question remains:
What if the mission was never to find them, but to complete a calculation?
Continue the complete six-book Combat Investigator Files series.
Author’s Listening Note:
Choose a calm, low-mid, direct cinematic voice. Avoid theatrical narration.
