Author: Mia Dalia

COMING JUNE 2024

The Earth is dying.

A generation of geniuses born to it might be its only hope. They have been chosen. They have been shunned. Loathed and praised. But the people who save you aren’t always as you’d imagined. 

It’s time for the new kind of superheroes. The ones smart enough, driven enough, and daring enough to take us to the farthest reaches of the outer space.

Praise for Arrokoth:

“At once futuristic and nostalgic, Arrokoth is reminiscent of Malerman’s Inspection with its edgy, coming of age dynamics. Engaging, soul searching, and dare I say, a prescient looksee at the near future?”
— Justin Holley, author of Seven Cleopatra Hill and Hellweg’s Keep

“Arrokoth is a brilliant novella, deeply human and mind-teasing. Mia Dalia is a fabulous writer, managing to offer us a jewel of both dark and light beauty and a perfect parable on human nature. An absolute must-read for lovers of humanist sci-fi!”
— Seb Doubinsky, the author of City-States series

“I couldn’t put it down. A story of hope, betrayal, and love with the intensity only science fiction can deliver. Arrayed against a life-and-death science fiction struggle, this is a story about abiding hope and love.”
— Sue Burke, author of Semiosis duology & Dual Memory

“Mia Dalia offers a tale that offers the best of what science fiction is and should be. A believable world, filled with technical and scientific wonders and terrors, and an artful examination of the human condition and the human heart—even when it seems like the story relates to the mind. You’ll see…”
— Jeffrey Caston, author of Immunity

“An eloquent and moving tale of deep space and inner conflicts where human advancement clashes with the cycles of history, Arrokoth is both a voyage through space that explores the intellectual curiosity and simple pleasures of being human and a touching portrayal of a superior intelligence striving to advance civilization while confronting the harrowing truths of settling a new society. Dalia’s crisp, compelling prose weaves together two distinct voices to create a layered observation about the range of human intelligence and the common ties that bind us.”
— Brian Pinkerton, author of The Gemini Experiment and The Intruders.
