Starfall: Arya's Hunt for the Last Transporter

by H.G. Ahedi

Starfall did not just vanish—it unleashed something that now hunts the galaxy.

A brand-new universe from the author behind the hit space opera The Realm Series.

The Ayridians have fallen. Most survivors labor in the Deep, a mining colony where the Mote—a mining poison—claims entire families. But Ayra Weld's mother didn't die in the mines. She vanished aboard Starfall, the last transport to leave the planet.

To track Starfall, Ayra needs power, ships, and influence. She enters a brutal solar-sail race where most pilots die. Her victory forges an alliance with Zorian, a notorious power broker. Instead of funding another mine, she bankrolls a space program—turning the ruling syndicates against her. She survives sabotage, riots, and assassination attempts and completes the program with one find Starfall. Then Ayra discovers she is infected and the Mote will kill her within a year.
With time running out, Ayra decides to gamble her life on one final launch.

She knows this is a one-way ticket. She expects danger, not war. Two alien species are locked in a brutal conflict, and Ayra’s ship is heading straight for it—hopelessly outgunned and outmatched.
But something worse than war awaits. An apex predator culling both species—and it originates on Starfall's last known coordinates.

About the author

The way I write and approach research has been shaped (bless me!) by many incredible people. These individuals can be grouped into three categories: researchers, authors, and mentors. They’ve created websites, shared their struggles through blogs, published their work, and, from these varied sources, I’ve learned so much. Their journeys have inspired me in countless ways, and now, I feel it’s my turn to pay it forward. 😊

About Me

Born and raised in India, I wrote whenever I could—even after becoming a doctor. Writing was my savior during tough times, though it always remained just a hobby. Later, I moved to Australia to further my research and complete a PhD in Biomedical Sciences.

People often say, “You change after completing your PhD.” I certainly have. Suddenly (don’t ask me why!), I feel a strong urge to write more books and share my stories with the world. I’ve also discovered a deep passion for helping others develop their research and creative skills—something that has become one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life.
