About this audiobook
The Last Stak'i: Orphan of the Stars
One boy's desperate journey across the cosmos will determine the fate of the galaxy.
Mika Stak'i is the last of his kind, a sixteen-year-old survivor of a brutal Grija attack that annihilated his homeworld of Trerra'ki. Alone in the vastness of space, Mika escapes in his grandfather's ancient starship, the Starweaver, a vessel equipped with mysterious technology and secrets that may hold the key to defeating the Grija.
Haunted by the loss of his family and the destruction of everything he once knew, Mika is thrust into a universe far larger and more dangerous than he ever imagined. With the guidance of ARIA, the ship's advanced AI, Mika must navigate through hostile territories, form unlikely alliances, and confront the terrifying reality of the Grija's power.
As Mika uncovers the truth about his family's past and the legacy he's inherited, he must decide whether he will continue to run or stand and fight. But fighting means more than mastering the Starweaver's advanced systems—it means facing his deepest fears and the darkness growing within him.
The Last Stak'i: Orphan of the Stars is an epic young adult sci-fi adventure that blends action, emotional depth, and the mysteries of space. Perfect for fans of coming-of-age stories set against the backdrop of a galaxy on the brink of war.
Join Mika on his journey through the stars, where every choice could be his last and every victory could change the fate of countless worlds.
About the author
Nicholas Wells' journey as an author began far from the star-studded realms of science fiction. Born across the Atlantic and raised in the picturesque landscapes of Minnesota, Nicholas discovered early on that his undiagnosed ADHD was not a hindrance, but a wellspring of creativity.
While his academic journey was often challenging, Nicholas found that writing provided the perfect outlet for his boundless imagination. It allowed him to not only read but to create entire universes, scratch his literary itch, and dive into stories that could keep pace with his rapid-fire thoughts.
After experimenting with various genres, including romance and fantasy, Nicholas found his true calling in the vast expanses of science fiction. "The Last Stak'i: Orphan of the Stars" represents the culmination of his lifelong love affair with space operas, alien worlds, and the infinite possibilities of the cosmos.
Drawing inspiration from classic sci-fi authors and his own experiences as a father, Nicholas crafted the character of Mika Stak'i and the world of the Starweaver. His daughter, the driving force behind much of his work, continues to inspire him to create stories that evolve and grow, much like the characters within them.
When not writing, Nicholas can be found indulging in his other creative pursuits – woodworking, painting, and music – or exploring the Minnesota wilderness with his family, always on the lookout for landscapes that might inspire his next alien world.
Nicholas believes that the greatest stories are those that not only transport us to other worlds but also help us understand our own a little better. He hopes that "The Last Stak'i: Orphan of the Stars" will do just that for his readers, young and old alike.
