About this book

Raheeb Khan’s Extrinsic is a fast-moving mystery and thriller with a sci-fi edge, built around advanced technology, cyber danger, and large-scale action. At the center is Arnold, a coder who becomes the final barrier between a stolen supercomputer and a catastrophe that could upend life as everyone knows it.

After a break-in at Fermion Co., events spiral into hijacked code, bombs at hospitals, courtroom upheaval, and even tornadoes. Arnold is also a father, and the novel plays that against the pressure of a global threat, including the shocking moment when a tornado engulfs his whole family. The result is a high-stakes techno-thriller that mixes digital menace with a personal struggle to protect both the world and the people waiting at home.
