A hidden identity at the edge of the galaxy

Seven-year-old Sarya has been raised by Shenya the Widow, a formidable spider-like alien, without knowing she is Human—the last of her kind. Their refuge is Watertower, a border station on the Galactic Network, where Sarya’s search for answers sets off a security crisis. The setup links a space-opera adventure to questions of identity, free will, and family formed through adoption. Adapted from Zack Jordan’s novel as a science-fiction graphic novel, the story places those themes amid an interstellar setting and a conflict involving both Sarya’s guardian and a Network Auditor.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers drawn to science-fiction graphic novels and interstellar settings

Book overview

Seven-year-old Sarya is the galaxy's worst nightmare: a Human. Fortunately, she's the last of her kind.

Based on the critically-acclaimed novel The Last Human, The Last Human in a Crowded Galaxy is a whimsical and endearing space opera graphic novel about identity, free will, and found family.


Sarya the Daughter doesn't know she's a Human, and that's better for everyone. Just ask her adoptive mother, the terrifying spider-like alien known as Shenya the Widow. Or don't, because Shenya the Widow would do anything to keep her adopted daughter's identity a secret. That's why they've come to Watertower, the notoriously low-security border station at the edge of the galaxy-spanning Galactic Network.

But Humans are curious beings, and Sarya is no exception. When she sets out on a quest to find out what she is, she triggers a station-wide security crisis. Now hunted by a powerful Network Auditor and the equally formidable Shenya the Widow, it's only a matter of time until a crisis becomes a disaster.
