Now, Kraus turns his gaze to the stars with The Sixth Nik, his newest science fiction book, released only a few months ago.
The story introduces readers to The Sickness, a spaceship woven from biomatter capable of reacting to the every need of its human crew. The vessel is piloted by a mysterious, eclectic cast, including a faceless assassin, a "jigsawed" engineer, and a rugged, non-modified captain. At the center of this enigma is Sisilla, a nine-year-old cultist whose brain is enhanced by "niks"—arcane technology that grants her immense powers of intuition—as she travels to investigate the rogue, plague-riddled planet known as Fém.149710
