Babel

Robin Swift is a brilliant, socially awkward linguist and translator with a rare gift: he can sense the hidden power within words and manipulate meaning through translation.

When he is recruited by a shadowy intelligence agency, he is thrust into a world where language itself is a weapon, and the truth about his own past and his mother's involvement in a secret organization is slowly revealed.

As the conspiracy deepens, Robin must decide how far he is willing to go to protect the people he loves and uncover the truth behind the power he wields.
