Five years ago, Tyler Rush thought he'd buried the Game for good. He was wrong.

Tyler and his wife, Jill, have built something worth protecting-Charm City Creations, the Baltimore incubator launching the next generation of startups, and Rosie, the most advanced AI ever created. But the money is running low, the marriage is under strain, and the board is circling.

Then a series of cryptic letters sent by a man calling himself Maxwell signals the return of the Game-a clandestine and corrupt power circle. Maxwell holds the Custodial Coin. The coin is real. So is the century-old grudge he carries against Jill's family.

By the time Tyler realizes he's not in control, he's already lost Rosie in a single hand of poker.

It doesn't end there. Buried crimes surface, loyalties fracture, and a plan to tear the country in half moves into the open as control slips away from the people who built it.

Fast-paced and politically charged, Beyond Control is a thriller exposing institutional power, artificial intelligence, and financial warfare.
