The simplest explanation is the neo-Tychonic model: Earth stable at center, universe rotates, holding earth stable at center (expalined in the book). Sun revolves with the universe (though has a small difference in velocity), planets orbit the sun with elliptical orbits (earth is not a planet in this case). The stars revolution is centered on the sun.
This is an exact geocemetric inversion of heliocentrism.
Other more complex explanations are based on aether, aether flow, and abberation.

The author Philip Jose Farmer had yet another thought on the matter that explained the "speed of light" problem for stars as far out as a light year.
He proposed the "pocket universe".

To the extent that it says anything heliocentric theories do not, it is wrong.
