A zero-day exploit strikes at the heart of European democracy. The clock is ticking—and the line between loyalty and betrayal is fading.
When a devastating cyberattack paralyzes the European Parliament, Europe is forced into a corner. As Brussels prepares for a historic vote on digital sovereignty—choosing between its traditional alliance with America and an independent future—Iran claims the attack, threatening to shut down the Strait of Hormuz to force European neutrality.
Only one cybersecurity analyst in Brussels stumbles upon the dangerous truth hidden within the code. But as he races through a labyrinth of state-sponsored hacking, political espionage, and digital warfare, the vote itself is being secretly manipulated. If the result flips, the geopolitical balance of power will shift forever.
Packed with authentic tech suspense, pulse-pounding action, and realistic geopolitics, Zero Day Directive is a gripping techno-thriller for fans of Tom Clancy, Daniel Silva, and William Gibson.
Will the truth emerge before democracy is rewritten?
