ICARUS Has Launched - Mítosz Begin

The wait is over. The first novel in Mítosz is now live on different platforms.

I'm very happy to share that ICARUS has received two written Amazon reviews so far, and they couldn’t have been kinder:

“This is gonna be the best book that I’ve read in years. Gritty believable storyline set in a space frontier wilderness.”★★★★★ — Reviewed in the United States, October 13, 2025

"A profound story, worth the time invested to read it. Exciting, sad, uplifting, inspiring. One I’m glad I read. One I highly recommend." ★★★★★ — Reviewed in the United States, June 13, 2026

"I began reading this novel as a good story with some "hard science" aspects (though I am not sure exactly what hard science means anymore in sci-fi) and about in the middle I wondered where these 749 pages were taking me. But then... the conflict deepened, complicated just enough for me to wonder how these characters I'd become fond of would fare in the increasing, overlapping, unfolding crises. I read then nonstop...and found, satisfyingly, the rest of the saga quite desperately human, longingly hopeful. I will surely read Bugarszki again" ★★★★★ — Reviewed in the United States, July 10, 2026

A catastrophic storm destroys the Russian Vostok outpost. Hundreds may still be alive beneath the wreckage. Official rescue is impossible. Earth’s governments are paralyzed by geopolitics. Yet across the dust-choked deserts of Mars, something extraordinary begins to happen.

Illegal rescue convoys start moving. From the shining European city of Asteria to the militarized corridors of Tianyuan and the corporate stronghold of Minos, settlers risk everything to reach the survivors. Former rivals must cooperate. Secrets are buried. And every decision could ignite a political crisis back on Earth.

Watching over them are the Twin Minds – hyperintelligent AI entities embodied in humanoid robotic forms and linked through a quantum network that spans the entire planet. Castor, Vega, Luna and Helion were created to serve the Martian settlements. But as their shared memory grows and their loyalty deepens, they begin to shape the future of Mars itself.

As alliances fracture and a new Martian identity begins to emerge, Icarus becomes a story of courage, betrayal, and the fragile beginning of a civilization far from Earth.

Perfect for readers of The Expanse, Kim Stanley Robinson, and intelligent political science fiction.

Welcome to ICARUS

An emotionally gripping, high-stakes sci-fi epic about survival, rebellion, and the fragile hope of beginning again, not just as individuals, but as a civilization.
