Publisher's Summary

Perfect for fans of Madeleine Roux, Jonathan Maberry, and horror films like 28 Days Later and Resident Evil, this pulse-pounding, hair-raising, utterly terrifying novel is the first in a duology from the critically acclaimed author of the Taken trilogy.

After receiving a distress call from a drill team on a distant planet, a skeleton crew is sent into deep space to perform a standard search-and-rescue mission.

When they arrive, they find the planet littered with the remains of the project - including its members’ dead bodies. As they try to piece together what could have possibly decimated an entire project, they discover that some things are best left buried - and some monsters are only too ready to awaken.

What the critics say

“Gripping, thrilling and terrifying in equal measures, Contagion is the perfect intersection of science fiction and horror - I couldn’t look away.” (Amie Kaufman, New York Times best-selling author of Illuminae and Unearthed)

“Few understand the true horror that lies in the empty unknown of space, but Erin Bowman nails it in Contagion. Read this one with the lights on!” (Beth Revis, New York Times best-selling author of the Across the Universe series and Star Wars: Rebel Rising)

“Erin Bowman’s Contagion is everything I want in my science fiction: a cast of smart characters on a desperate rescue mission forced to confront an elusive and unstoppable enemy. I absolutely loved this layered and thrilling adventure and can’t wait to dive back into this world again.” (Veronica Rossi, New York Times best-selling author of the Under the Never Sky series)

Incredible book!

Amy McFadden did an incredible job making the characters come to life. From every small exaggeration to the intense and emotional moments, I felt so incapsulated in the words. I usually don’t listen to audiobooks while I drive, but this one I couldn’t stop listening to. Every moment I had to relax and listen I took it. Usually my attention span doesn’t allow me more than 20 minutes, but there was just something about the story, characters, plot, climax, and ending that kept me listening. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys anticipation, friendship, sci-fi, the unknown, and most importantly learning secrets.

Oh, that voice... that annoying voice!

If any of you have been around long enough to recall the movie 'The Breakfast Club', amongst the cast members was Ally Sheedy. The reason I refer to this ancient history is that way back then I found her voice so annoying that it negatively affected my appreciation of what was a pretty good movie and, during ensuing decades, I could not bear to watch anything in which Ms. Sheedy appeared since I found her voice to be so grating. I mention this because, much to my chagrin, Amy McFadden is an Ally Sheedy vocal twin - inflections, pacing, tones and all. So, after about two hours of this irksome pain to my ears, I had to stop listening to the book. Had the story line been worth the auditory torture, I may have continued listening; however, it is more YA than adult and, therefore, not what I expected and an overall disappointment.
