Author Description

The Mysterious Professor: Security by Shadows A Technothriller Novel by Erick A. Gempesao In the shadowed halls of Bisayas State University in Leyte, Philippines, one professor stands at the crossroads of education, ethics, and espionage. Meet Professor Adhe A. Lemenjo-a brilliant criminologist, polygraph expert, and head of the Department of Industrial Security Management. By day, he lectures on lie detection, criminal investigation, and security management. By night, he unravels conspiracies embedded in the very systems meant to educate and protect. When a series of digital anomalies begin disrupting academic institutions, Adhe uncovers a terrifying truth: an international network known as MirrorBay is using learning platforms to infiltrate young minds, harvest behavior data, and manipulate the future. As the schemes evolve-from classrooms to disaster zones and even military simulations-Professor Lemenjo and his students become the last firewall against silent digital indoctrination. Spanning the rural provinces of Leyte to international conferences in Singapore, Geneva, and Jakarta, The Mysterious Professor is a gripping technothriller that explores the dark side of educational technology and the power of one teacher to ignite resistance with knowledge. This debut novel blends forensic investigation, security management, cyber-ethics, and true Filipino grit in a suspenseful journey of intellect versus control. "The most powerful place to build a nation is not in its palaces-but in its lecture halls."
