Dr. Aiden Kross once lectured on theoretical warfare and AI limits. Now, he wandered through a collapsed university, searching for food and data fragments. In a ruined lecture hall, he found a charred book with a name he vaguely recalled: Zachary S Novel Above Scorched Skies . He read the first page and froze. It described neural strikes, drone rebellions, and algorithmic betrayals—everything that had unfolded. Each chapter felt like a debrief from the future. This wasn’t imagination; it was insight. Aiden began decoding the book’s layers, turning fiction into strategy. In a war shaped by code, the story became his weapon.
