The People's Fortune: Seeds Among the Stars
Eight hundred million people bent under one ruthless fist. Thirty trillion dollars stolen to keep them kneeling. But all it took was one hacker, one worm, and one spark of defiance to return what was theirs.
When Kai releases the Worm, the old regime collapses overnight - its stolen hoard drained into the hands of the people who earned it. Each citizen wakes to find $37,500 in their pocket, a fortune that turns slums to gardens, schools to hubs of invention, and a crushed nation into a shining beacon of rebirth.
From ruin blooms a golden era: art flourishes, education frees the mind from brainwashing, drones build cities that reach the clouds, flying cars drift above rivers reborn, and Kai's secret Mars Plan promises humanity an escape if tyranny ever returns.
But power's hunger never dies quietly.
In the shadows, the old tyrant Liao bribes a foreign ally with rare earth riches to rebuild his army. Drones, AI beasts, and war machines swarm back to reclaim the people's fortune. Betrayal bleeds the streets red. Kai's final stand buys enough time for his children - seeds of hope raised by him and Mei Lin - to flee with the blueprint that could save them all.
Because in the end, money alone never frees a nation.
Only the courage to guard it does.
And if Earth falls again - the seeds will rise among the stars.
A sweeping tale of rebellion, sacrifice, and the fragile treasure that is freedom - perfect for fans of dystopian thrillers, cyber intrigue, and quiet hope that refuses to kneel.
