New space‑opera push

Space‑opera author Graham Clayton promoted his new release 'Those Alien Skies' this week — the post pulled ~231 views and several reposts as he spotlighted the book alongside his award‑winning titles (x.com). If you follow modern space opera, his promo signals a push for big, serialized sci‑fi narratives in 2026 (x.com).

Those Alien Skies is presented as a linked trio of novellas that expand the Milijun universe rather than as a single standalone novel. (bookreviewdirectory.com)) The book is available in Kindle and paperback editions, with the paperback listed on Amazon as released September 17, 2025. (amazon.com)) Promotional materials and third‑party coverage list awards and honors attached to Clayton Graham’s catalogue, including mentions from Literary Titan and Readers’ Favorite as well as a Global Book Award Silver credit in publicity copy. (claytongraham.com.au)) Clayton Graham is billed on his author site as an aerospace engineer‑turned‑writer who built Those Alien Skies from threads in his earlier Milijun work, a series first published in 2016. (claytongraham.com.au)) Early professional reviews and bookstore writeups single out the Mars‑set novella and the collection’s worldbuilding across “distant planets and alternate dimensions,” with multiple outlets giving five‑star or strongly positive editorial takes. (readersfavorite.com)) Graham’s promotional activity has spanned platforms — he maintains profiles on X and Bluesky and ran a Goodreads giveaway while inviting readers to sign up to his newsletter, signaling coordinated marketing into 2026 including a featured “Books 1–3” push on genre blogs.
