Mr. President

In a future where Earth, Mars, Venus and the outer moons vote as a single electorate, the unlikely victor is George Wong—a quiet, high‑foreheaded man of mixed heritage who has spent his career orchestrating the colonization of icy worlds. When the final vote count confirms his landslide triumph, the celebrations feel hollow; his friends and rivals alike sense the heavy burden of leading a sprawling Solar Union still reeling from the sudden death of its predecessor.

The story follows Wong’s first days in office, from a muted inauguration in New Geneva to his uneasy meetings with seasoned bureaucrats who keep the interplanetary government humming. Through a series of tense briefings and whispered conspiracies, he confronts the paradox of wielding unprecedented power while grappling with personal doubts and the looming threat of a draft that could claim the lives of his new colleagues’ families.

The narrative balances political intrigue with vivid world‑building, offering listeners a thoughtful look at leadership, sacrifice, and what it means to serve a civilization spread across the stars.
