A.K. DuBoff

A.K. DuBoff

A. K. DuBoff writes with one eye on the stars and the other fixed firmly on the human condition. Her science fiction is not only about faster-than-light ships and galactic empires, it is also about people navigating loyalty, ambition, and identity in the shadow of cosmic wonder.

Raised in the Pacific Northwest after an early childhood in San Diego, she grew up surrounded by books and music, where science fiction classics like Dune and Ender’s Game left an indelible mark. Even in high school she began sketching the outlines of what would later become the Cadicle universe, a sprawling space opera that would go on to anchor her career.

Her path to authorship was not a straight line. After earning a degree in psychology with minors in writing and business, she spent years in business development and consulting before returning to the passion that never left her: storytelling. In 2015 she released Architects of Destiny, the first book of the Cadicle Saga, and within two years she had stepped fully into the life of a professional author.

Since then, her work has expanded into multiple series, from the expansive Cadicle Universe to the fast-paced Mindspace thrillers and the adventurous Dark Stars trilogy. Readers have embraced her as the “Queen of Space Opera,” drawn to the way she layers interstellar intrigue with intimate, character-driven stakes. Her fiction has also earned critical recognition, including a Nebula Award nomination and placement on the USA Today bestseller list.

Away from the page, she lives with her husband and two rescue cats, often traveling to gather new perspectives and inspiration. Whether she is strategizing over a complex board game, savoring wine in a quiet corner of the world, or sketching the framework of a new star-crossed rebellion, her life is infused with the same curiosity and imagination that define her novels.

For readers who crave immersive world-building, emotional resonance, and stories that explore what it means to be human in the vastness of space, A. K. DuBoff’s books offer galaxies worth exploring.

Starship of the Ancients

Some discoveries are too vast to control, and some secrets are too old to remain buried.

In Starship of the Ancients, a forgotten vessel drifts back into the known galaxy carrying mysteries that could unravel everything humanity thought it understood about its place among the stars. What begins as a chance encounter with relics of a long-vanished civilization spirals into a struggle for survival, as rival factions, explorers, and outlaws race to seize the ship’s technology and the dangerous truths locked inside.

At the heart of the saga are characters forced to choose between ambition and trust, caught in the gravitational pull of power that could reshape entire star systems. The series thrives on high-stakes space adventure woven with emotional depth, where friendships fracture, alliances are tested, and the pursuit of ancient knowledge comes at a perilous cost.

Blending the wonder of classic space opera with the intrigue of modern science fiction, Starship of the Ancients offers a journey across uncharted galaxies where every discovery carries both promise and peril. For readers drawn to stories of exploration, mystery, and the fragile line between progress and destruction, this series delivers a universe as dangerous as it is breathtaking.


Starship of the Ancients consists of four books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
