About the book

Book One in the Origin Andromeda Trilogy He never wanted power. Now an entire galaxy is dying without him. Henrik Harlacker is an ordinary man from Earth whose quiet life ends with an impossible revelation: He is the last rightful heir to the Andromeda Galaxy. But the throne was stolen long ago. A ruthless dictator has spent decades forging a galactic empire through fear, propaganda, and overwhelming military force. Entire worlds have fallen. Billions live under oppression. Those who resist simply disappear. Now Henrik's existence threatens everything. Thrown across the stars into a war he never chose, he encounters alien civilizations, sentient artificial intelligence, fragile alliances, political conspiracies, and devastating fleet battles. He isn't a soldier. He isn't a king. He's the last person anyone expected to lead a rebellion. To survive, Henrik must unite enemies who distrust him and make impossible choices where every decision costs lives. But defeating a tyrant may not be his greatest challenge. Because power changes people. And the closer Henrik comes to reclaiming the throne, the more he fears becoming the very thing he's fighting to destroy. Origin Andromeda: The Beginning is an epic, character-driven space opera about rebellion, identity, sacrifice, leadership, and the price of changing history. Because some inherit kingdoms. Others inherit wars. ⭐ “A remarkable work of science fiction.” — OnlineBookClub.org

About the author

Christoffer Vuolo Junros

I’m Christoffer Vuolo Junros, a Swedish author and development engineer. My life tends to move between two worlds: engineering things that exist and writing about worlds that don’t. By day, I work on the development of electric trucks and buses, combining engineering, problem-solving, and a fascination with complex systems. Outside of engineering, I write science fiction and speculative stories about people caught inside systems far larger than themselves. I believe deeply in human rights, equality, and the equal value of every human life. Those beliefs inevitably shape my writing. My stories often reflect humanity’s struggles with power, oppression, injustice, prejudice, technology, colonialism, and the structures we create to control one another. Science fiction gives me a way to move those struggles somewhere else—to another city, another planet, another century—and then look back at ourselves from a different angle. Sometimes the technology changes. Humanity rarely does. I’m the author of the Origin Andromeda science-fiction series, the writing guide WRITE: The Essential Mini-Guide to Books and Storytelling, and now The Delay, my stand-alone science-fiction noir. When I’m not writing or engineering, I’m usually travelling, working on some new project, building something unnecessarily complicated, or already thinking about the next story.
