About the Book

When a magnitude-9.1 quake shreds the Pacific Rim, Dr. Maya Reyes is forced to wake Argos-the experimental planetary drone hive she helped design-before its liability trials are complete. Argos runs on blockchain-verified trust: every drone authenticated, every mission assigned through smart contracts, every flight minute rewarded with a token economy powerful enough to recruit tens of thousands of operators in minutes. From a Zurich war room, Maya watches the network light up-racing drones from Manila garages to Oregon farms-while Captain Ruth Okoye coordinates rescue grids and Ishan Patel monitors the flood of anonymous crypto stakes into the disaster pool. Out on the streets, Juno Park launches her hacked racing drone, realizing too late that her "beta" demo code is now part of a global AI-driven swarm. But the patent's untested third claim-an encrypted signal buried deep in Argos' swarm logic-has yet to be triggered. When it does, the line between rescue network and autonomous power becomes razor-thin. And the same tech that can save a coastline can take one down. Author's Note The Third Signal is built around concepts from an actual, developing patent application containing multiple claims for: Blockchain-verified drone identification and authentication to prevent spoofing. Smart contract-based mission deployment with immutable ledgers. Tokenized incentive systems rewarding operators, charging stations, and data contributors. Decentralized swarm coordination without central command. Zero-knowledge proof logging for trust-without-exposure in sensitive missions. Dynamic geofencing and autonomous rerouting based on live environmental data. While the story, characters, and events are fictional, the underlying systems-like Argos' recruitment protocol, disaster-response hive network, and tokenized rewards-mirror technology that is already being developed into multiple novel patent applications. I wanted this novel to feel alarmingly plausible-because the moment global drone swarms and blockchain incentives meet, the real-world stakes will be just as high as they are in this book.
