Jeff Carlson, an American science fiction and thriller author presently works with David Brin, a New York Times bestseller writer, on a new novel Colony High. His horror/science fiction story The Frozen Sky was first published in 2007, it won the international Writers of the Future contest. Carlson science fiction – suspense trilogy The Plague Year was a big success worldwide. He was shortlisted prestigious awards such as Philip K. Dick Award for the novels.



Plague Zone is the third instalment of the trilogy.
A nanotech plague wiped off human race from the Earth; only a small number of people survived. One of the survivors (Cam Navarro’s wife, to be exact) is infected with a new kind of plague: an airborne brain illness that turns people into zombies. A nanotech scientist, Ruth Goldman tries to find a cure…
The characters, most of them known from the previous books, are shrewdly pictured, the story itself has a dark atmosphere, it is fast-paced, full of action and adventure, just like all of Jeff Carlson’s novels. Plague Zone is a brilliant ending for the series, a gripping read for anyone who enjoys dark science fiction, action, and thriller genres, for anyone who likes apocalypse themed novels like Stephen King’s The Stand. Besides, I especially like Carlson to give a main role to females in his action sci-fi thrillers...
