PRESS RELEASE: Australian Author Shares Charts With Sci-Fi’s Best

Callan J. Mulligan’s Debut novel, the Sci-Fi Thriller “Astraeus”, has done what very few independent books manage to do. In its first week, Astraeus shared amazon’s Bestselling List with titles such as James S.A Corey’s The Expanse, and Frank Herbert’s Dune. Scoring Top #32 Science Fiction Books, Mulligan has quickly become Australia’s latest breakthrough novelist.

The book, released in January 2022, has now been nominated for the Best Indie Book Award and a sequel to the story has been announced. This kind of success is rare for a first-time author and has primarily come down to the hard work of Callan himself, and the support of a community hungry for more science-fiction and fantasy stories than ever before.

Set on a world-settling starship, Astraeus takes us into a future where humankind has settled the stars. The Astraeus is a paradise, but when a murder is witnessed, and the starship begins experiencing violent tremors, the colony and crew are thrust into a race against time. They must find answers and repair the ship or risk falling victims to the cold, empty void of space.

Described as “Matthew Reilly in space” and “The Titanic meets Battlestar Galactica”, Astraeus is available from Amazon and major retailers in eBook and paperback.
