Welcome to the next chapter of Mina’s Star, a near-future epic about humanity’s reckoning after the collapse of the logic of mutually assured destruction.
In this chapter, we follow Adebayo Ogunleye as a sudden disaster on Mercury propels him and his fellow trainees into an urgent deep-space rescue mission, forcing them to balance precision, loyalty, and exhaustion under immense technical pressure. Amid orbital hazards and a deteriorating partnership with the pilot Aistė, Adebayo uncovers signs that the mission itself may be compromised in ways no one is prepared for.
