Callisto by Torsten Krol, an Internationally Bestselling Novel, Released by Platinum Needle

LOS ANGELES - Jan. 8, 2019 - PRLog -- Platinum Needle is proud to announce its publication of the internationally bestselling and critically acclaimed novel Callisto by Torsten Krol. The Platinum Needle Kindle Edition is the first time Callisto will be available to millions of Kindle owners around the world.

A wickedly funny comedy set in fictional Callisto, Kansas, Callisto tells the story of 22 year old Odell Deefus as he attempts to enlist in the Army. When his '78 Chevy breaks down on a back country road, his troubles go from bad to worse as he becomes an unwitting victim of America's brutal War on Terror.

Trosten Krol's brilliant satirical  novel, Callisto has been heralded as a "dazzling, outrageous and important book… that illuminates the darkest chambers of America's heart" by the New Statesmen. The Times of London called it "A nail biting trip into the dark heart of America… The film will be fun." Callisto earned a spot on the Huffington Post's Best Books of 2009 and received rave reviews from critics around the world.

"Funny, suspenseful, scary and, most importantly, the best portrayal of an American Innocent since Forrest Gump." (Kirkus Reviews Starred Review)

"There's plenty to love.... Krol's best twist in a plot packed with them: our identification with his clumsy charmer becomes at once the scariest and most appealing thing about the book." (New York Times Book Review )

"Readers...will enjoy the romp." (Publishers Weekly)

"Odell has one of those narrative voices that grabs you out of the gate and never lets go. Think The Good Soldier Swiek with a touch of Confederacy of Dunces and maybe even a little Catcher in the Rye." (Booklist Starred Review)

The Platinum Needle Kindle Edition of Callisto contains new material never before seen by American audiences. The publication of the Platinum Needle Kindle Edition marks the tenth anniversary of Callisto's debut in 2009.  Since its first publication, Callisto has been translated into 22 languages and is beloved by readers around the world.

Torsten Krol, the author of Callisto, is known to be an extreme recluse who is said to live in the outback region of Queensland, Australia.  Krol has evaded the public for more than 10 years. Journalists have speculated about Krol's identity for more than a decade, however no one has been able to positively identify him.
