Shambhala Saga

About the Book

She had to travel beyond the planet to discover her true self. Will she find the courage to walk through the doorway to a new future?

Shambhala Space Station, 2097. Solitary physicist Callisto (physics, after all, is a jealous mistress) never accepted conventional wisdom. So when she’s recruited to work on faster-than-light technology by a beautiful and mysterious older woman, she eagerly accepts the career opportunity at the women-only research station orbiting Earth’s moon. But her enthusiasm suffers when her first discovery is unexpected heartbreak.

Throwing herself into work on a problematic warp drive prototype, Calli blossoms in the utopian female community that shows her love and acceptance for the first time in her life. But when a diabolical conspiracy, a disingenuous affair, and a disastrous betrayal test her place in this unique environment, the brilliant scientist must dig deep to find her moment of truth. Will Calli embrace her destiny in an unexplored cosmos?

Callisto 2.0 is the transformative first book in the Shambhala Saga feminist science fiction series. If you like compassionate characters, deep-space intrigue, and hopeful visions of the future, then you’ll adore Susan English’s cosmic adventure.

A gifted young researcher finds her life rocketing in a new direction - to the stars - in Callisto 2.0 by Susan English, a creative, time-warping thrill.

Self-Publishing Review

Whereas those in Shambahla have created an advanced society for themselves, their neighbors on Earth—as some of us might have guessed—still have a lot of catching up to do.

Independent Book Review

Calli experiences so many breakthroughs working and living at Shambahla that it forced me to wrestle with many ideas presented within the novel. Will the patriarchy ever be dismantled? Will there ever be a world free of injustice and conflict? Why can’t we fully accept and respect other cultures? Are there more global pandemics on the horizon? Is Earth on the brink of destruction?

English isn't afraid to dangle mysteries before the reader, luring them deeper into a powerful narrative that is difficult to resist.
