New York Times bestselling author Daniel Kraus, whose popular "Whalefall" novel was adapted into an upcoming feature film by Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment, sets his creative compass for an interstellar odyssey to a mysterious planet in his first entry into science fiction books with "The Sixth Nik". We chatted to Kraus about the upcoming novel, and he even gave us an exclusive excerpt to share before its June 26, 2026, arrival.
Kraus co-wrote the "Trollhunters" book with director Guillermo del Toro, which was transformed into the hit Netflix animated series, as well as the novelization of del Toro's Academy Award-winning sci-fi horror romance film, "The Shape of Water." "The Sixth Nik" promises to be an extraordinary journey into the darker depths of the genre when it appears later this summer.
