About this listen

A new space fantasy from Will Wight, the New York Times best-selling author of the Cradle series.

“To survive in this galaxy, you need a wand in one hand and a gun in the other.”

On a little-known planet, Archmage Varic Vallenar casts a grand spell to empower himself with the magical abilities of his alternate selves. The ritual works too well, granting Varic not only the magic but also the memories from six lives.

Including their gruesome deaths.

Now, Varic has power greater than any wizard in galactic history, but he knows that won’t be enough. The enemies he faced in those alternate lives were apocalyptic in scale. Terrors of technology and magic. Nothing that he, or anyone, can defeat.

Sun-eating extra-dimensional insects, shadowy secret organizations, genetically enhanced alien super-soldiers, ruthless megacorporations, and hordes of cyborg undead all lurk in the darkest corners of the galaxy, and Varic knows that any of them can become a world-ending threat at any moment.

All these are beyond any wizard, no matter how many spells he’s mastered or how many interstellar warships he’s rallied to his cause. Hopeless, Varic finds himself trying to preserve what little he can from the coming doom.

Until he hears rumors of a mythical starship, an invincible vessel of heroes made to do battle against galactic threats.

A ship called The Last Horizon.

The Captain is Book One in a planned six-book series.

Dear Listener,

What inspired me to want to tell my story?
"The characters. We’ve got everything and the kitchen sink. The hero is a wizard in a starship who bound the spirit of a planet into his staff. The villain is the central consciousness of a galactic hive mind of cyborg zombies. We’ve got a Jabba the Hutt-style slug-man teaching classes at a magic academy, a super-soldier in power armor who carries a planet-busting weapon, and a mech-summoning knight. The ship’s AI is obsessed with heroic quests and keeps trying to trick characters into adventures. I even had fun with characters who barely show up in the book. One scene ends with a deposed alien queen challenging a defeated soldier to a card game. I had a lot of fun writing this cast, that’s all I’m saying." - Will Wight, writer of The Captain
