Outranking the legends!

Updated: Aug 12

This feels surreal: my indie sci-fi novel Chaos from the Cosmos is outranking some legendary titles on Amazon US (for now, at least)! I’m momentarily sitting above some of my all-time science fiction heroes:

  • Andy Weir’s The Martian – yes, the one with the Ryan Reynold's blockbuster film adaptation.

  • Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem – now a Netflix sensation.

  • Samantha Harvey’s Orbital – last year’s Booker Prize winner.

  • The Murderbot series – recently brought to life on Apple TV+.

  • …and even all-time classics!


I don’t know how long this will last, but right now it’s a dream come true.


The crazy part? I’m just a guy writing in my off-hours with no big publisher or marketing machine—only the support of amazing friends and family. That makes this milestone extra special. No matter what happens next, I’ll always remember this day.


If you haven’t picked up Chaos from the Cosmos yet — and you enjoy sci-fi grounded in real space tech and present-day geopolitics — please consider grabbing a copy (links below).
