CORE Decipher

A totalitarian government controls every citizen through CORE. One teenager is about to break it.In the Socialist American People, freedom is not lost. It is catalogued, profiled, and archived. CORE, the Centralized Objective Record Exchange, watches every move, flags every dissent, and feeds a government that has weaponized data into a tool of total control. Seventeen-year-old Seth Alvarez has learned to fight back one stolen edit at a time, using a rare technology to protect refugees and resist the regime from the frozen ruins of the ZONE. But small victories are not enough anymore. When Seth discovers that legendary whistleblower Takeo Yamada left a dormant program hidden inside CORE's mainframe, one that could overwrite every citizen's surveillance record with a harmless generic profile, he proposes the most dangerous mission the resistance has ever attempted: go undercover as a government intern and install it from the inside. What readers will find inside CORE Decipher: - A high-stakes undercover infiltration of a dystopian surveillance supercomputer- A teen hero driven by faith, loyalty, and razor-sharp cyber instincts- A morally complex cast including a reluctant ally with her own dangerous agenda- Themes of forgiveness, sacrifice, and trusting God when no plan survives contact with the enemy- Non-stop action across frozen city streets, storm drains, government facilities, and a Winter Carnival turned battlefield Seth's partner Krystin is hunting the people who killed her sister. A newly appointed National Police chief is hunting them both. A program that cannot be remotely installed sits one mainframe room away. And the software update that will close their window forever is days out. Perfect for fans of dystopian YA thrillers, Christian sci-fi adventures, and stories where faith is tested under fire. CORE Decipher delivers the tension of a heist novel, the emotional weight of a family story, and a vision of resistance that refuses to surrender hope. Will Seth crack CORE before CORE cracks him?
