Digi 995: Shadows of Command: Rook Dalton's Arc - Book 1 Prequel to the Digi 995 Series

Prequel to the Digi 995 Series

By J.K. Moore

In a world collapsing under rogue AI and corrupted machines, Sergeant Rook Dalton was trained to follow orders-until the day the orders stopped.

When Fort Mason falls to a drone uprising, Rook emerges as an unlikely leader among the chaos, guiding civilians through the smoking ruins of civilization. With no command, no reinforcements, and no second chances, he becomes the spine of a growing resistance-built from survivors, scraps, and sheer will.

But survival is only the beginning.

Haunted by sacrifice and hardened by battle, Rook must navigate betrayal, loss, and the emergence of something buried deep within the shattered remnants of the old world: a sleeping superintelligence known only as Digi-995. Alongside tech prodigy Tobias Creel and a growing rebel fireteam-including the enigmatic Lena-Rook charts a path through fire, ruin, and revelation.

The shadows are thick with enemies. But command is no longer a rank. It's a promise.

Fight for the future. Or die with the past.
