Mad Cave Studios announced the January 2026 release of Astro Quantum, a sci-fi tale of vengeance and survival by Arturo Fabra and Andrea Mutti.
Cast out to die in the toxic world of Maku, young Ishmaeel finds an unlikely ally in the sharp-tongued Soliumite exile Quee-Keg. Together, they claw their way through underground bazaars, brutal creatures of the Galaxy, and bitter rivalries to chase a destiny bigger than either imagined: a place aboard the legendary Molok-hunting starship PEKUOD. An all-new epic space saga of survival, rebellion, and the hunger to reach beyond the stars starts here!
“This project combines two of our passions: science fiction and Moby Dick, one of our lifelong ‘books of life,'” said Fabra in a press release from Mad Cave Studios. “While inspired by Melville’s monumental ideas, at its core, this is an adventure about the war for energy, ecological terrorism, and the exploitation of nature for profit. We see it as the gateway to a larger universe of stories—inviting readers to look at the stars with curiosity while reflecting on our place here on Earth. Most of all, we hope they enjoy the journey, and want to come back for more.”
Astro Quantum #1 arrives on January 28, 2026.
