Survivors of a deadly planetary outbreak take on a new, sinister adversary in the white-knuckle sequel to Contagion, which New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman called "gripping, thrilling and terrifying in equal measures."
They thought their nightmare was over, but Thea, Coen, and Nova's rescue was only the beginning. After being imprisoned on a ship they thought was their ticket to safety, it's clear that the threat they left behind isn’t as distant as they'd hoped—and this time the entire galaxy is at risk.
Now that threat is about to be unleashed as an act of political warfare. To prevent an interstellar catastrophe, the survivors must harness the evil they faced on the planet Achlys and learn to wield the only weapon they have left: themselves.
The first installment in Erin Bowman's duology earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly, who called the plot "intricate and action-packed," and fans of Jonathan Maberry, Rick Yancey, and Madeline Roux will relish in Bowman's tense, high-stakes conclusion to the events of Contagion.
My Review:
Oh, wow, I really enjoyed reading this book! I was really eager to read this book after the ending of Contagion-that was just evil-and yeah, this book didn't disappoint! It was such a raging good read! Though it was more thriller than horror, because they're not running away from bodies infected with the contagion.
In this book, we're introduced to Amber, doctor in training, and daughter of the doctor doing experiments on Thea and Coen. Oh, and the fact that she's a teen, making her a viable host for the contagion, that's kinda important to.
We got little glimpses into a programmer's life, Thea's mom, and we learn why she left, and what she's been doing in that time. They were brief glimpses, but I really enjoyed when she crossed paths with our group of characters!
The ending isn't all hearts and roses. They have something of a cure, but I don't know if they have a vaccine for those who wouldn't become a host, because the cure was for hosts only. And then there was the whole thing where there was a similar contagion but slower acting...yeah, wouldn't mind spending more time in this world to explore all that!
This book was such a great read, and I have to read more by Erin Bowman, I don't know why I haven't already!
