Feeling lost — like you don’t belong? Searching for adventure, purpose, family?

Escape from Spaceport Alpha is the story you’ve been waiting for: a high-stakes, heart-pounding journey through the stars alongside misfits and dreamers—all searching for their place in the universe.

Navinder Takhari was just a boy when he was orphaned by the destruction of Earth. Haunted by loss, searching for meaning in the endless dark of space, Navi now drifts from one dead-end job to the next. But when he and his loyal, damaged crew crash-land on Janiko, they stumble upon a sinister government plot that changes their course forever.

A must-listen for maturing Marvel fans (Guardians of the Galaxy), Star Wars, Ender's Game, Maze Runner, Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy and Ready Player One. If you’re ready to lose yourself in a galaxy of danger, found family, daring escapes, and unexpected hope… it’s time to board the Starship Ambassador. Welcome to Takhari.

Escape from Spaceport Alpha is the first instalment in the Takhari series, by breakthrough science fiction author, Michael D. Frost. Targeted at teen / YA audiences, this dystopian space opera is rooted in found-family values—with a few bar fights, big laughs and high-speed chases along the way.
