Triggered
When a failed assassination attempt on a rising populist politician ignites nationwide unrest, two mismatched London detectives uncover a covert program hidden inside Britain’s most popular AR glasses — technology capable of manipulating emotion, behaviour, and violent intent in real time. As riots spread and reality itself becomes unreliable, they must expose the conspiracy before an engineered civil collapse tears the country apart.
As unrest spreads across the country, Malone and Sol uncover a conspiracy reaching into the highest levels of politics, intelligence and technology. What initially appears to be political extremism is being deliberately engineered, with Aucta Re users unknowingly turned into weapons. Streets erupt, trust collapses and distinguishing genuine threats from manipulated reality becomes increasingly difficult as the detectives find themselves hunted by the very forces they are trying to expose.
With Britain approaching civil collapse, Malone and Sol must survive long enough to reveal who is controlling Aucta Re and why. But stopping the conspiracy means taking on people with the power to manipulate not only what the public believes, but what they actually see. TRIGGERED is a near-future action thriller about political division, technological dependence and the terrifying possibility that the most effective weapon isn't one that controls what people think — it's one that controls what they perceive to be real.
