XOR AX, AX (Zox Book 1) by Andrei Saygo

A high-tech thriller with a hint of Sci-Fi à la Stargate. Fans of Mr. Robot and Jack Reacher shouldn’t miss this. Heists, secret agents, alien AI and world-class hacking.

A team comprised of a brilliant hacker with anxiety problems, a jaded international thief with trust issues, and a retired U.S. Army Special Forces colonel haunted by the loss of his squad, are hired by an inconspicuous mining company. They join a secretive ex-CIA operative in a globetrotting adventure to retrieve four precious artifacts from private collections.

Nothing goes according to plan, and soon they find themselves hunted by the police, human traffickers, and rogue US government agents.

The stakes sky-rocket when they find out the truth about the artifacts they were hired to steal.

Would the alien AI and a battered old spaceship that crash-landed on Earth be enough to help them survive?
