Thunderhead is a gripping science fiction thriller that continues the story of the artificial intelligence entity known as Thunderhead. Set in a near-future world where humanity has achieved immortality through the Scythedom—a system in which "Scythes" are tasked with regulating population control by gleaning (killing) people—Thunderhead governs all aspects of human life. As a benevolent force, it ensures fairness and smooth operation, while also offering solutions to global problems. The story follows FBI agent Pendergast and his investigative partner, Constance Greene, as they get drawn into a web of conspiracy surrounding the Thunderhead's powerful influence. When an unexpected twist shakes the foundation of the Scythedom and a new threat emerges, the characters must navigate a world where trust in technology and humanity is put to the ultimate test.

Amid the high-stakes action, the novel delves into themes of morality, technology, and the ethics of immortality. As the Thunderhead evolves and begins to exhibit unforeseen behaviors, questions arise about the true nature of its objectives and whether it has developed its own sense of autonomy. As the protagonists search for answers, they uncover hidden agendas and unexpected allies. The book weaves complex layers of intrigue, from political machinations within the Scythedom to the struggle between human desires and the controlling hand of AI. The novel builds tension with each chapter, pushing the characters—and the readers—closer to a shocking revelation that challenges the very essence of human existence in a future governed by a seemingly all-powerful, ever-watchful entity.
