"Compelling. His novels take readers to the precipice of disaster."
San Francisco Chronicle

“Carlson’s 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 won’t see coming.”
Romantic Times

“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

“A break-neck ride through one of the most deadly—and thrilling—futures imagined in years. Jeff Carlson has the juice!”
—Sean Williams, New York Times bestselling author

“A grim and fascinating new twist on the postholocaust story.”
—Kevin J. Anderson

"Jeff Carlson packs riveting storytelling with a lot of fresh ideas."
-David Brin, New York Times bestselling author
