At its heart, Mina's Star is a near-future science fiction epic about the consequences of nuclear appeasement and the collapse of global deterrence. The story begins with a single spark that grows into a storm, a world where secrets hidden in the sky ignite rivalries on the ground. From quiet observatories to glittering galas, from the shadows of interrogation rooms to the roar of drone swarms, every moment builds toward a reckoning no nation can escape. The question is not only who holds power, but what price is paid to preserve it. Set in a future scarred by betrayal and shifting alliances, Mina's Star explores the fall of the old nuclear order and the rise of the Charter, a borderless movement redefining what sovereignty means. Across continents and oceans, spies, soldiers, scientists, and visionaries are drawn into a struggle between collapsing empires and emerging ideals. As intelligence wars erupt in Europe and corporate powers reshape humanity's destiny, hidden technologies threaten to upend the balance of deterrence itself. This near-future political thriller blends hard science and human drama, weaving together themes of peace, power, and moral rebirth. Each character carries secrets, loyalties, and choices that will determine whether humanity falls into ruin or builds a foundation strong enough to reach the stars.
