SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk - Daniel Kraus
DESCRIPTION:Writing the Nightmare: A Ship Called Sickness and One Unforgettable Space Crew with Daniel Kraus\n2026 Pulitzer Prize Winner and New York Times Bestselling Author of Whalefall and Angel Down\nTuesday\, September 8th 2026 at 5:00 PM\nPrepare to launch into the darkest depths of deep space! Join us online as we sit down with master storyteller Daniel Kraus\, winner of the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction\, to celebrate the release of his breathtaking new novel\, The Sixth Nik.\nDeep into space\, far past the triworld outposts\, beyond range of the lethal trollbot internet\, soars The Sickness: a ship woven from biomatter and capable of reacting to every need of its human crew. Sisilla\, a nine-year-old cultist with a brain enhanced by arcane tech known as “niks\,” has boarded to investigate the enigma of Fém—a plague-riddled planet that has abruptly gone rogue.\nThe mysterious crew includes a faceless assassin\, a beautiful engineer jigsawed by plastic surgery\, a peyote-addicted medic\, and—most lethal of all—a rugged\, NonModded captain with a score to settle with Sisilla. Other dangers abound. A hacked robot begins to believe Sisilla is its daughter. The Sickness itself is mutating\, possibly even pregnant. And the secret of Fém is more horrific than anyone could have imagined. To survive\, Sisilla will need to forsake her predetermined fate and embrace the unknown.\nRegister now to gain exclusive insight from one of the most visionary voices in modern fiction.\nAbout the Author:\nDaniel Kraus is a Pulitzer Prize-winning\, New York Times bestselling writer of novels\, TV\, and film.
