Editorial Reviews
“What I liked the most about this novel was its visionary, inclusive, and heartwarming premise. The author presents a character-driven plot nicely developed against powerful LGBT and environmental backdrops, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The characters are well developed and markedly diverse, and there are remarkable women from all over the world. -OBC reviewer
“Susan English knows how to create a beautiful escape for her readers…an oasis of knowledge, understanding, and enlightenment. Thanks to her, I was able to live in a world where people celebrate diversity, scientific truths, and women. Callisto 2.0 envisions a wondrous utopia, but it does not deny reality. It is heart-wrenching to have such a clear vision of a peaceful world and then be reminded so vividly that mine, ours, might not ever reach that state. …I personally would fight for Shambhala. And I hope you would too.” -Independent Book Review
“Love, warp drives, and bees in space – CALLISTO 2.0 is an emotionally driven, female-centric science fiction story of the not-so-distant future. Those with an appetite for drama and slice of life will…find plenty to love in CALLISTO 2.0. Because as cool as the science of the story is, it’s the confident women and the relationships they build with one another that are the stars of the show.” -IndieReader
“A creative, time-warping thrill. English isn’t afraid to dangle mysteries before the reader, luring them deeper into a powerful narrative that is difficult to resist. She puts her creativity on prime display, with clever bursts of imagination. Envisioning a future where today’s real-world obstacles have been overcome, after unimaginable tragedies have occurred, makes for great fiction, and an endless landscape for exploration and narrative creation. Callisto 2.0 is an addictive read built on an incredible idea.” -Self-Publishing Review ★★★★ Read more Continue reading Read less
