When Maxwell Tate, visionary founder of the world’s most powerful technology platform, survives a near-fatal overdose, the collapse is immediate. His company prepares for life without him. The public demands accountability. And the system he built to connect the world turns his private failure into global spectacle.

 

The danger is no longer whether Max survives.
It’s whether there will be anything left of him when the world is finished watching.

 

The only person who remembers who Max was before the myth is Preston Vaughn, the estranged friend bound to him by an old boarding-school pact: never let the other fall alone. Alongside Harper Stone, the one person who has remained at Max’s side through success and ruin, Preston returns to force Max back toward a past he has spent decades outrunning.

 

What follows is not redemption, but reckoning. As Max revisits the defining moments of his life, lost friendships, buried grief, unfinished love, and the quiet betrayals beneath success, he begins to understand the cost of what he built. Synergy has grown beyond its creator, shaping billions of lives while demanding someone to blame for its consequences.

 

And the world has decided that someone is him.

Moving between past and present, MAXIMUS PRIME is a sweeping work of contemporary fiction about friendship, ambition, and the fragile human connections we sacrifice in the pursuit of greatness.

 

Because some roads only lead you back.
