Auditor to the Stars is Andrew van Aardvark’s newest series, launching in 2025 with Origin Story. The premise puts a financial auditor in a far-future spacefaring setting, which is a refreshingly unusual angle for a science fiction series. Instead of soldiers or pilots, the protagonist deals with the financial infrastructure that holds interstellar civilization together.
The title fits neatly alongside van Aardvark’s other space commerce stories like Peddler to the Stars and the Captain Jack Black trading adventures. He clearly has an interest in the business side of space travel, and this series takes that focus to a new level with a protagonist whose job is literally checking the books.
As a brand-new series with only one book so far, it remains to be seen where van Aardvark takes the story from here. Readers who enjoy his blend of science fiction with commercial settings should keep an eye on this one.
