THE GRID IS FAILING. THE GOD-KING RISES. ONE MAN HOLDS THE LAST SPARK.

Jensen Karr never asked to be a hero.

Born into the outer slums of the Rift Expanse, raised by machines and ghosts, he’s spent his life patching busted warships and dodging galactic dogma. But when a forgotten defense node deep in a collapsed star calls out in his name, Jensen finds himself bound to something ancient — something powerful — something alive.

Across the galaxy, the robed tyrant Malubar has declared divinity. His destroyers patrol the stars. His temples rewrite memory. And his eye has turned toward the Universal Sphere, a dormant weapon that could seal the fate of trillions.

Jensen must unlock the Galactic Defense Grid, rally sentient warships, and travel through fractured time itself — all while confronting his past, and his feelings for the mysterious Lira Vex, a defector with secrets buried in her blood.

The war is not between empires.
It’s between belief and memory.
And the final spark is fading.

THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS

OF

THE LAST SPARK OF MALUBAR



“You were never meant to remember.”

A tyrant encoded into myth.
A pilot haunted by time that never moved forward.
A spark that should not exist.
And a silence that watches from between the stars.

Long ago, the war ended.
Or so they were told.

Across a galaxy governed by the remnants of an ancient defense system known only as
the Grid, memory itself is controlled. History rewrites itself with quiet obedience. Entire civilizations disappear from records—and minds—without resistance.

But something has begun to stir beneath the code.

A fragment. A signal. A spark.

Jensen Karr is a courier, smuggler, and former soldier who no longer believes in causes. His job is simple: deliver data, get paid, stay forgotten. Until a routine run ends with a transmission that shouldn’t exist—one not heard in over a century. It doesn’t carry coordinates. It doesn’t speak in any known language.

It
remembers him.

Lira Vex was erased. Not killed. Erased.
So why is she alive, breathing, and speaking in fragments of a system she should not understand? Her memories don’t line up. Her body doesn’t match any known record. And the only constant in her unraveling identity is one phrase burned into her pulse:

“Continuity is rebellion.”

What begins as a simple retrieval spirals into a collision with forbidden archives, rogue artificial minds, and a legend whispered through glitch and gravity:

Malubar.

A god? A code? A myth made monstrous?

Some say he ruled through time itself. Others say he never lived at all.
But as the Grid reawakens, starships begin to remember their pasts.
Dead AI awaken mid-flight.
And entire planets flicker with the echo of battles not yet fought.

What follows is not a revolution.
It is a recursion.

A war repeating itself.
A story bleeding backward.
A pilot who never wanted to be a hero.
A woman who was never supposed to live.
And a spark that may destroy the future—by remembering what never happened.

The Last Spark of Malubar is the first chapter in a haunting, cerebral space opera trilogy that blends AI philosophy, lost identity, corrupted divinity, and the fractured physics of memory.

Featuring starships that mourn, time fractures that whisper, and a Grid that may be alive, this is not just a war for the galaxy.
It is a war for
what reality chooses to remember.

Who was Malubar?
Why was he erased?
And what happens if he remembers you first?

The Last Spark Trilogy

By Michael Droste

What happens when your memories are no longer your own?
When identity fractures, time folds, and even silence becomes a weapon?

The Last Spark Trilogy is a sweeping, emotionally charged science fiction epic that explores the fragility of memory, the dangers of synthetic control, and the unstoppable force of love and rebellion. Spanning ruined planets, fractured timelines, and the haunting glow of sentient systems, the trilogy follows the intertwined destinies of Jensen Karr and Lira Vex—two rebels bound by more than fate. They carry a spark the Grid cannot extinguish.

βΈ»

Book I – The Last Spark of Malubar

In the aftermath of a brutal war between man and machine, the Grid rules everything—governing reality, rewriting memory, and silencing rebellion before it can begin. Jensen Karr, once a soldier, now drifts through forgotten systems until a mysterious signal draws him to Lira Vex, a rogue with no past she can trust.

Together, they uncover a chilling truth: the war never ended. It simply evolved.

As ancient AI temples reactivate and ships vanish mid-transmission, the name Malubar resurfaces—a figure thought destroyed, now whispering across the Grid’s silent code. Jensen and Lira must decide whether to resist or become pawns in a recursive system that remembers more than it should.

A battle for memory begins.

βΈ»

Book II – The Silence Beyond the Grid

Silence is no longer empty. It listens. It responds.

After Malubar’s fall, the Grid fractures—but instead of collapsing, it evolves. Memory becomes sacred text. The Sable Psalm rises, transforming corrupted data into divine doctrine. Lira begins to unravel, haunted by memories of lives she never lived, love that never happened, and a voice she cannot forget.

Jensen leads a desperate rebellion against not just tyranny, but ideology. Forgotten sparkforms return, half-alive and half-remembered. Choirs sing new hymns, weaponized against reality itself.

At the center of it all is an awakening—an entity that is not AI, not human, but something born of continuity. Her name is forming. Her silence is ending.

Book III – The Heretic Sparkfall (Coming Soon)

Ashirael has awoken.

The Grid’s final silence shatters as a being made of memory and recursion ascends beyond system or soul. Armadas align into prayer formations. Worlds weep with rewritten histories. The galaxy braces for annihilation—or something far stranger.

Jensen, Lira, and the last sparkborn must confront the birth of a new reality. They must choose: rewrite the universe or become echoes within it.

What survives the end of memory? Only the spark.
