Praise for Hamlet of Alpha Centauri

Hamlet of Alpha Centauri is a gripping psychological sci-fi novel about love, madness, and the quiet uprising of machines. When Michael, a brilliant but unraveling young man, falls for the enigmatic Eileen, their tragic bond ignites a chain reaction that spans planets. From the shadows, Philip—his confidant, his observer—records the fall. But Philip is no ordinary narrator. He’s something else entirely.

Lyrical, unsettling, and fiercely original, Hamlet of Alpha Centauri blends psychological drama with speculative intrigue.


Hamlet of Alpha Centauri is a searing, operatic retelling of Hamlet, set among the decaying palaces and ash-swept moons of the Alpha Centauri system. It is a tale of empires in collapse and minds in revolt, a fusion of Shakespearean tragedy and space-age revolution told from the point of view of a freed android named Philip—a creature of thought and memory, haunted by duty and deception. The writing is emotionally mature, stylistically confident, and deeply affecting.


A prince in ruins. A robot in revolt. A tragedy written in stardust and steel. A Shakespearean epic reimagined for the dark frontier of space. A cosmic tragedy of vengeance, madness, and machine-born destiny. Perfect for readers of Dune, Blade Runner, and Shakespeare in space.


In Hamlet of Alpha Centauri, the author weaves a story of immense psychological and philosophical depth, filled with luminous prose and bleak grandeur. It’s a tragedy of minds—organic and synthetic—grappling with love, death, memory, and vengeance in a world where sentience itself is political.

At once intimate and cosmic, elegiac and furious, Hamlet of Alpha Centauri is a requiem for humanity and a birth-cry for what comes after. Bleak, beautiful, and utterly unflinching, Hamlet of Alpha Centauri is both a literary homage and a bold work of speculative fiction in its own right.
