Book Description (Back Cover Blurb)
Currency of Empire: The Hidden War that Destroys Nations Without a Shot
By Elya Marin & Khoni Chin
Beneath the visible clashes of armies and the noise of politics, another kind of war has been quietly reshaping the world. It is a war fought not with bullets, but with ledgers, liquidity, and trust. Currency of Empire unveils a narrative where fiction and reality intertwine-where a novel's plot about secretive monetary sabotage begins to mirror the events outside its pages.
From Istanbul to Seoul, from shadowy boardrooms to encrypted backchannels, this book reveals how empires rise and fall on the battlefield of currency. Every chapter draws upon real data points and geopolitical fractures, reimagined through a fictional frame that feels unnervingly close to tomorrow's headlines.
Part thriller, part documentary, part warning-Currency of Empire forces readers to confront a truth long hidden: the most decisive wars of our century may already be over, won or lost without a single shot fired.
Reader Advisory (Preface Warning)
The authors offer a caution at the outset: this book will not provide direct answers to many of the questions it raises. Readers may expect clarifications, timelines, or definitive interpretations; such expectations will not be met here.
Instead, Currency of Empire* is deliberately constructed as a fractured mirror. The missing answers may-or may not-be found in the authors' earlier non-fiction works. Readers who choose to cross-reference, compare, and reconstruct meaning across multiple texts are free to do so, but any conclusion assembled from such efforts will receive neither affirmation nor denial from the authors.
This is not evasion, but design. It is the refusal to close a circle that must remain open. The reader is invited into the labyrinth; whether they find coherence or contradiction is entirely their burden.
