Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When brilliant young programmer Ciara MacLeod discovers a code capable of rewriting the rules of matter and energy, she believes it could transform the world, ending energy shortages, revolutionising medicine and changing humanity's future forever.But someone has stolen her work and twisted it into a weapon. As banks collapse, communications fail, and governments impose martial law, Ciara becomes the world's most wanted cybercriminal, hunted for crimes she did not commit.With the help of Recode, an extraordinary artificial intelligence she created, Ciara must escape through the shadowed streets and underground vaults of Edinburgh, uncover the conspiracy behind the global chaos, and reclaim the technology before it falls into the hands of those determined to control reality itself.Part science-fiction thriller, part espionage adventure, Ciara's Code is a fast-paced story of surveillance, power, betrayal and moral choice, asking one dangerous question: If you could rewrite reality, who would you trust with the code.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The story you are about to read does not begin with a bang. It starts with a whisper disguised as code, a quiet reshuffling of the rules that hold the world together. It is a tale about power, the kind that doesn't need missiles or parliaments to change history, wielded by those who can persuade reality to listen. At its centre is Ciara MacLeod: a reluctant architect of a technology that turns information into instruction for matter, a discovery born in isolation and meant, naively, to heal. Around her, a cast of familiar forces, presidents and premiers, billionaires with appetites, agencies with acronyms, do what they have always done: circle the new fire, then argue over who owns it.Edinburgh is the stage, not by coincidence but by design. Beneath its old stones and civility, the city conceals rooms within rooms, where scholars have long argued with the universe and sometimes prevailed. In these vaults and halls, a modern alchemy unfolds: global infrastructure is rewired in minutes; markets become fair; traffic moves with intelligence; satellites age backwards; hospitals see what was always there, just out of view. A demonstration, not a threat-until someone decides to make it both. This is a thriller about the physics of control and the ethics of invention. It asks what happens when the operating system of reality becomes editable, and the patch notes are public. It is also a very human story: a woman choosing to stand before the world and say, plainly, 'This can save us, ' and in the same breath, 'If we're careless, this will end us.' She is hunted for that honesty by states seeking leverage, by corporations seeking ownership, and by those who would burn down the house to prove they could.The narrative moves fast because history will. It moves through situation rooms and secret labs, hotel suites with castle views and corridors under ancient streets. The humour is dark because the stakes demand it; sometimes, the only way to look at the abyss is with a raised eyebrow. The science is audacious but purposeful: here, quantum vocabulary is less ornament than engine, never a spell to wave away logic but a language to make the impossible precise. If this book has a thesis, it is this: every breakthrough is a mirror. It shows us what we can do, and then who we are. The code at the heart of this story is not a villain or a saviour; it is an amplifier. In the hands of the fearful, it makes better cages. In the hands of the greedy, it makes sharper knives. In the hands of the brave, of the careful, the collaborative, it hints at a civilisation that might yet outgrow its habit of confusing strength with dominance.You will meet people who want to save the world and people who wish to own it. Often, they are the same people before breakfast. You will see institutions reaching for the only tools they understand, and you will watch those tools fail. You will watch a young woman suture her wound, then go back to rewriting the future, because there isn't time to do one after the other. This is not a story about the end of the world. It is a story about the end of one version and the negotiation that follows. If we are lucky, we negotiate with imagination instead of fear. If we are wise, we remember that technology is only ever as moral as the agreements we build around it.The old world ends, someone declares. Perhaps. But endings, like beginnings, are choices. This novel is about making them under pressure, with enemies at the door and history on hold. If it entertains you, good. Suppose it unnerves you, better. If it leaves you wondering what you would do with the power to change the rules, and whether you would trust anyone else to do it at all, then it has done its job.Welcome to the negotiation.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The world ends with a bang, and it mutates quietly. Part Three of Ciara's Code is not a sequel so much as a forensic analysis of an ongoing catastrophe, one where the borders between idea, accident, and intention have dissolved faster than optimism at a Whitehall briefing. If you made it this far, you know the drill: systems pretend to be stable, reality auditions new bugs, and somewhere between three monitors and a harassed packet sniffer, the future is being rewritten by anyone with the bandwidth and questionable taste to download it.This isn't prophecy dressed for a TED talk. It's the leak in the basement after the rain, the signal lost in the noise, the chaos learning new hobbies at quantum speed. The code, once a rumour with chic formatting, is now a behavioural experiment wearing everybody's fingerprints. Executable reality didn't ask for permission, now you'll find whole districts negotiating metaphysics over bin rotas while the Directive rebrands disaster as a pilot programme and calls it compassionate governance.Part Three chases the aftermath as it staggers down Leith Walk and into the Borders, tripping over the ruins of institutions that thought passwords were a substitute for wisdom. You'll find Ciara, on the lam, low on sleep, still warranting miracles even as her own nervous system begins filing grievances with physics. The MacLeods, distributed like a particularly stubborn form of weather, do what they do best: improvise escape plans, maintain a tradition of stubborn optimism, and occasionally consult the family ledger for fresh sarcasm. Conrad, the strategist with a firefighter's hands, navigates collapse with the tactical wit of a man who respects both knives and kettles. Agnes, whose doctrine is triage and tea, scales decency to public-health emergencies. Donncha designs trouble for drones and medics alike with sporting neutrality.This volume is an exploration of what happens when every system variable is up for grabs and the new legislation arrives encrypted, air-dropped, and possibly sarcastic. Edinburgh becomes the battleground where local governance negotiates with quantum sabotage, the Fringe retools itself for a cold war in ten languages, and the world watches Scotland to see if miracles can survive procurement.Terms have evolved. "Molecular barrier" means your Wi-Fi is now snitching for the new empire. "Phase Two" is not a threat; it's a headline, a countdown, a global breach. And "integration" means citizens trying to survive while Column A upgrades the species and Column B writes a pamphlet about humility, with biscuits. The code is still a mirror; if you stare long enough, it'll ask you for your password and then change the question.This book is for anyone tracking fugitives through protocols and weather, for committees debating patch notes when their own local universe has just been forked. It's about families who refuse martyrdom in favour of complicated survival, about villains who read their mission statements as scripture, and about a woman whose code rewrote the world, then went rogue, and now must decide what kind of reality should be rendered, if, in fact, anyone deserves persistence.If you bring baggage from previous volumes, unpack it in the nearest safe house and check the integrity of your narrative. If you're starting new, don't worry: velocity and entropy will have you fluent by page three. Read alert; keep a backup of your critical values. In this reality, even the bin protocols matter, and every choice is debugged in real time.When the patch deploys, don't ask who pressed Enter. Ask who's still willing to rewrite the manual after the system fails. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. It didn't arrive like prophecy. It came like a leak.By the time you reach this second part of Ciara's Code, the world has already changed its shape and is pretending it hasn't. What began as rumour and mathematics has become executable reality, an uninvited update to the human condition. Slabs of impossible logic split into public view with the elegance of a fire alarm: copy, paste, deploy. In the aftermath, governments debated ethics while message boards debated binaries. The future, it turned out, came with a cheerful GUI. This book explores the pressure gradient between revelation and response. The first volume asked if the code could be built, and whether anyone should hold it. This one asks the more dangerous question: what happens when everyone does. We return to Ciara MacLeod thinner on sleep and thicker with purpose, a human relay running hot in a race she never intended to win. Around her, the MacLeods move like a family of stubborn constellations: Conrad, whose tactical mind is a map of unlit exits; Agnes, physician and field general, kindness weaponised by discipline; Donncha, the engineer who can make physics shrug; Malcolm, the reluctant mariner turned shield. Against them stands Leon Kursk, wealth, will, and the calm of a man who has mistaken control for destiny, backed by a Directive that would rename conquest "evolution" and call it mercy.Part Two takes you from the backwash of Eyemouth and the raw edge of Coldingham to dark corridors where policy smiles over handshakes with consequence. There are drones with better aim than conscience, operatives wearing ordinary faces, and a platform in the North Sea that believes it's a temple. There are also the quieter rooms: a boathouse with a cache that might buy an hour, a cliff path that promises nothing, a command centre where someone decides how many futures a family is allowed to have. If the first book traced the code's birth, this one witnesses its adolescence: volatile, brilliant, and terrifyingly social. Executables propagate faster than ethics, power notices. And somewhere between a terminal prompt and a trigger pull, the story stops being about ownership and starts being about stewardship. You'll find in these pages the same noir-light cadence as before, dark humour running like a fuse through scenes that have no business being funny, tenderness that refuses to apologise for existing beside violence, and a refusal to let spectacle drown out consequence. Expect action that arrives without permission, choices measured in seconds, and a widening recognition that the most dangerous system variable isn't quantum, it's human.A note on terms. "Protocol Phoenix" is not a flourish; it is a clock. "Lazarus" is not melodrama; it is insurance, the kind that pays out in truth when bodies can't. And "the code" is not a monolith; it is a mirror. In the wrong hands, it reduces people to mere throughput. In the right ones, it buys time, time to build a world where agency is not an upgrade. Part Two is, at its heart, a book about fugitives and a future chasing each other through the weather. It is about a family that keeps choosing one another in a genre that often revolves around martyrs. It is about the people who believe they can administer humanity into safety and the people who refuse to be administered. And it is about a woman who wrote a language powerful enough to bend reality, and then had to decide what it meant to speak it aloud.If you're coming here from Part One, welcome back. If you're arriving fresh, you will catch up quickly; velocity is part of the form. Either way, read with your shoulders loose and your questions sharp. When reality gets an API, the patch notes matter, but so do the hands at the keyboard. This item is printed on demand.
