In this latest chapter of philosophical comedy series, a group of Americans decides to restore justice and create a crisis in Russia by messing up with their national strategic reserve—kasha. But the greater power intrudes. No, not nuclear power—the power of truth.
5 main characters, 5 cities and 5 dilemmas that Mirra has to deal with.
As Mirra and her team navigate a series of high-stakes geopolitical challenges across 5 cities—New York, Hudson Valley, Washington D.C., Dubai, and Moscow—they learn that truth cannot be manipulated, controlled, or negotiated. It is the one force that changes everything.
With the protagonist shaped by the tension between personal desires and collective duties, They Said It’s True gives readers an immersive global experience that balances heart-pounding action with deep philosophical questions. The book questions the very essence of justice, highlighting the complexity of international relations and the unpredictable nature of the forces that shape our world.
“This book is about far more than just global crises,” says the author. “It’s a deeper exploration of Mirra Vladi’s growth. From dating in NYC to raising kids, from causing an accidental revolution to pickling watermelons, she’s navigating life in all its complex, messy, and beautiful forms.”
What readers can find in the comedy thriller They Said It’s True: geopolitical intrigue, existential reflection, and absurd comedy.
Mirra’s journey has always been about embracing the unexpected, whether it’s solving a world crisis or finding love in all its complicated shapes.
