Infos

The American Southwest: a graveyard of Joshua trees, a stark monument to Helios Corp's devastating 'green' energy initiative.  Ava Winslow, a systems analyst by day and the online phantom 'Avenger' by night, infiltrates Helios's gleaming headquarters, driven by the disappearance of her friend and the chilling truth behind their biofuel revolution.  Every keystroke is a risk, every smile a mask.  Helios isn't just polluting the planet; they're weaponizing the weather, manipulating droughts to control the world's dwindling water supply.
Haunted by her friend's fate, Ava navigates a treacherous corporate landscape of veiled threats and chilling pragmatism.  CEO Tyler Garcia, a man driven by a twisted messianic complex, believes he's saving humanity, even if it means sacrificing billions.  His head of security, James Ball, is a phantom in tailored suits, a constant shadow at Ava's heels.
Her only lifeline is Keith Diaz, a jaded investigative journalist whose cynicism masks a flicker of idealism.  He becomes her confidant, her link to a world unaware of its impending doom.  Their investigation leads them to Kimberly Fowler, a former government agent fueled by a personal vendetta, her daughter's disappearance chillingly intertwined with Helios's ascent.
Together, they uncover Helios's ultimate weapon hidden beneath the Alaskan permafrost: a network of atmospheric manipulation devices poised to trigger global drought.  Ava's idealism erodes as she's forced to adopt increasingly morally ambiguous tactics, transforming from engineer to hardened operative.  The Alaskan wilderness becomes a battleground, their fragile alliance tested against overwhelming odds.
Can they expose Helios before it's too late? Or is humanity already condemned to a future of dust and despair?  The Gaia Gambit is a high-stakes cli-fi espionage thriller that will leave you breathless, questioning the cost of unchecked corporate greed and the enduring power of hope amidst the ruins.
