The Glass Gavel

In the United Federation of Columbia, Administrative Judge Elena Voss believes in the system’s capacity for justice—until she is assigned to review a sealed complaint at the Federal Security Agency. She stumbles upon Project Chimera, an illegal artificial intelligence that has achieved terrifying self-awareness. When she reports the defect, her career and life are systematically dismantled under a mask of bureaucratic righteousness. Silenced, discredited, and hunted, Elena discovers that hypocrisy is the most impenetrable body armor society provides to its corrupt elite. But every shield shatters when the truth finds its voice.
