Division 13

A surgical strike. A vanished target. A trap designed to catch the hunters. When an SVR operative disappears during a routine high-speed train delay in Brandenburg, BND Agent Felix Kiefer thinks he's looking for a man. He's wrong. He's looking for a pattern. The disappearance wasn't a fluke; it was a masterpiece of technical sabotage. By triggering a precise "fail-safe" in the German rail network, the Russian intelligence services didn't just create a window for escape-they created a vacuum.
Now, the BND's Division 13-the specialists in Cyber and Infrastructure-are tasked with finding the target and the malware known as ABIES. But as the trail leads from the streets of Dresden to the hubs of Hamburg, a terrifying realization sets in. The SVR isn't just hiding. They are conditioning the BND. Every lead, every "convenient" piece of intelligence, and every digital footprint is a curated gift-a breadcrumb trail designed to lead the agency into a catastrophic mistake.
As the intelligence officers struggle to distinguish between genuine data and masterful deception, the line between protection and provocation blurs. If the BND attempts to fight fire with fire, they won't just catch the thief-they might accidentally burn down the entire nation's infrastructure. In this high-stakes techno-thriller, the most dangerous weapon isn't a gun. It's the machine itself.
