@danielkraus.com will bless us twice this year! June 23 from @sagapressbooks.bsky.social comes his first sci-fi novel, THE SIXTH NIK, which looks like a dark, wild ride in deep space with a mostly transhuman crew aboard a bio-ship that (checks notes) may be pregnant?? 🛸👍

One thing this cortisol spike of a novel does not skimp on is the many ways war can ruin human bodies. Even so, when I came upon the phrase “boots still potted with feet” I shouted “goddamn!” to no one in particular.

Read it directly after a reread of The Shining, and that felt right for some reason.
