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 projectincluding 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 buriedand some monsters are only too ready to awaken. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR CONTAGION: Gripping, thrilling and terrifying in equal measures, Contagion is the perfect intersection of science fiction and horrorI couldnt look away.Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling 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.

A group at a scientific station is asked to answer a distress call on a remote planet. When they arrive, it is clear something has gone terribly wrong (you can guess from the title what type of thing that might be). I found this fun, suspenseful, and fast-paced. Book 2 has just been released and I may have to get to it sooner rather than later to see what happens next.

Wanted to share that Contagion by Erin Bowman is on sale in ebook for $1.99. If you‘re a fan of the “Aliens” franchise, this book is well worth a check. While I‘m seeing reaction on Litsy to this book is divisive, I personally loved it, and I‘m looking forward to the sequel that comes out next month. #bookdeal #ErinBowman #scifi #YA

Still mulling this one over. It was fast paced and suspenseful. But because of the pacing I didn‘t get to really care about any of the characters. So anything that happened to them didn‘t hit me as it was meant to. The writing was very info-dumpy and there were SO MANY dumb decisions made by “smart” people 😪 Overall it did what it was meant to. If you‘re a fan of viral thrillers set in space you might like this.

I forgot how hard it is for me to read with dilated eyes 😪 It‘s already dark, gray and rainy here today. The sunglasses I have to wear certainly aren‘t making seeing any easier haha.

ravenlee Hope it gets better soon! I once had my eyes dilated in college, and after my mom dropped me back at my dorm (no car) I had to feel my way to the bathroom and take a shower with my eyes closed because the light was making me feel nauseated! 6y
RainyDayReading @ravenlee That sounds awful!! Thankfully I don‘t feel too nauseated when my eyes get dilated, I just get awful headaches. It had been several years since I last had to deal with this so I had forgotten how frustrating functioning afterwards can be. 6y

I couldn‘t get into this at all. I feel I may not be in a mood for a sci-fi thriller and that‘s contributing to my inability to connect. Or the writing isn‘t my kinda jazz. Whatever the case, shelving it for now.

DNF means no rating.

I shall also be starting this sci-fi, horror novel. I think it‘s also YA. I don‘t know much about it other than it involves some spooky virus thingymajig. I figured the less that I know, the more receptive I‘ll be to the twists and horror elements (hopefully).

Bailing on this book. There‘s nothing particularly horrible about it,but it‘s not amazing. The writing isn‘t exceptional, and I‘m only reading exceptional in 2019! #booksnob

A mystery illness in space where no help is coming. I definitely guessed a few of the big turns. But I liked the slow horror reveal of information.

It wasn‘t for me. It‘s well written, but not my cup of tea. I had to DNF it.

I‘m WAAAAAY behind on my posts about my reading. Oops! I polished off Erin Bowman‘s Contagion and loved it. As a person who loved the “Aliens” film (the first two more than the rest), this book hits the spot. I‘ll confess that there‘s a twist with the disease that I saw coming (won‘t spoil it here), but I was okay with that. The cliffhanger ending is frustrating but it opens the door for what has the potential to be a big sequel. #FingersCrossed

Think Outbreak in space. This SciFi thriller takes you on an eerie ride to answer an SOS call from a mining post in deep space. The site has a history of things not going well so when a survivor is found when the rest of the crew is dead, who do the newcomers trust? The last recorded ships log w/the words of a dying man or the kid who's still living? If you like your space tales with an extra dash of creepy then you should pick this up. Fun read!

So far, this sci-fi thriller from Erin Bowman is delivering the goods. Lots of good twists and, for the most part, the actions of the characters make sense. #Contagion #scifi #ya #ErinBowman

SandyW Stacked. Thanks! 6y
BillBlume @SandyW hope you‘ll enjoy it, too! Realized this morning, this is one of those books where it‘s won me over for the ride, and all I‘m doing now is waiting to see if it can stick the landing. 6y

In my earlier post, I‘d mentioned how I was listening to the score from “Aliens” while reading Contagion. Also tweeted about it, and Erin Bowman responded that she also listened to the “Aliens” score while writing the book. #YA #scifi #ErinBowman #Contagion #Aliens #WritingMusic #ReadingMusic

This book would have been a pick if I had liked the characters more. The storyline was great, very suspenseful and I will definitely be reading the next one. However, most of the characters are unlikable and make stupid choices which was making me cheer more for when they failed rather than when they succeeded.

Erin Bowman‘s Contagion is turning out to be a very different YA novel. The story has ventured into the POV of many characters well beyond their teens. I‘m looking forward to seeing how much it strays from the YA norm. Liking it a lot so far. Went through a lot of different music to start it until I thought of listening James Horner‘s score to “Aliens” (one of his most infamous scores). #Contagion #ErinBowman #YA #scifi

MegsBooks Absolutely loved Contagion! ❤️ It played like a movie in my mind. So much fun! 😄 6y

I always love a good sci-fi story. I've seen Alien about 100 times and love every second of it. This was like an Alien and Life mashup. The only complaints I have is there is a sequel to it and the characters were unlikable, but the plot was gripping.

akckitty Thanks for sharing this! I‘m in need of some more good sci-fi in my life! 😍 6y

Picked this up yesterday and just finished it. This was my most anticipated read of probably the whole year and it didn't quite live up to my hype. Even so, I really enjoyed it (at least the last third) Where the story left off really got me excited for the second book in this series whenever that gets released😞 3.75🌟 Would recommend.
