Review
"Compelling. His novels take readers to the precipice of disaster."
San Francisco Chronicle
Carlsons nightmarish landscape presents a chilling albeit believable picture of a postapocalyptic world devastated by a nanotech plague. Plague War is the second of his trilogy, but it can still be enjoyed as a stand-alone. The carefully crafted plot is a mix of sci- fi, military adventure, and political intrigue. Strong, dynamic characters bring the story to a conclusion you wont see coming.

Intense. Carlson has reinforced what I admired about him in Plague Year, conveying his story and themes with as much authenticity and emotional truth as possible. Just consider yourself warned. This one is a literary level-four hot zone. SF Reviews
