Description
Far beyond the triworld outposts, a living starship called The Sickness carries a strange, volatile crew into the deep reaches of space—where a plague-riddled planet, Fém, has gone violently off-script. When nine-year-old Sisilla, a cultist with arcane “nik” enhancements, boards to investigate the mystery, she finds herself entangled with a faceless assassin, a surgically altered engineer, a drug-addled medic, and a NonModded captain with a personal vendetta. As the ship, the hacked robot, and even the planet’s horrors begin to mutate in unsettling ways, Sisilla must confront a fate that feels predetermined—and decide whether survival requires surrendering everything she’s been taught. Blending high-stakes sci-fi with dark, uncanny body-horror and sharp psychological tension, this debut from New York Times bestselling author Daniel Kraus delivers a propulsive, genre-bending ride in the spirit of Alien and Ender’s Game.
