PRESS RELEASE
What happens when the last man and woman in existence are the absolute worst humanity has to offer?
Blast off to Mars with the hilarious and terrifying debut novel by award-winning Australian screenwriters Aaron McCann and Dominic Pearce. BIG RED is available now on Amazon!
BIG RED takes readers on a wild and unforgettable journey with the vapid crew of the Chronos One, Earth’s first colonization mission to Mars, led by the charismatic Captain Quinn Nyquist and the witty First Mate Allegra Sadoka – chosen by the audience of the biggest reality show ever devised. But when the mission goes off course and the crew starts to turn on each other, these celebrity wannabes will have to fight to survive on the unforgiving red planet.
A potent concoction of science fiction, satire, horror, and social commentary, BIG RED will keep readers on the edge of their seats. From star-crossed lovers to cannibalistic mutants, existential horror to extra-terrestrial entities lurking in the shadows, readers will discover if the crew can overcome their toxic ways and work together to face the challenges of their new home.
“A rollicking sci-fi ride that hits all the right notes, with a touch of horror, and a barrel-load of laughs along the way.” says Amanda Bridgeman, author of “The Subjugate.”
Fans of satirical sci-fi comedies like Red Dwarf, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and Matt Damon’s The Martian will love BIG RED. This novel is a must-read for anyone who loves science fiction and hates reality shows… or vice versa.
“A savage satire set on the frontier of the red planet that, judging by our current grim age, might well prove to be all too prescient.” says critic Travis Johnson
BIG RED is a satirical sci-fi adventure that searches for hope amongst the worst humanity has to offer.
Don’t miss out on BIG RED. Available NOW on via Amazon here or where all good books are sold.
