A review by travisc2010
Contagion by Erin Bowman

5.0

Impossible is just an excuse not to try

When theres a distress signal on a distant planet an unprepared rescue crew is sent and unearth something evil and dangerous that puts everyone, even humanity at risk

Random Thoughts:

-Major Aliens vibe from this book. After finishing I wanted to watch them. But thats a positive

-SO much mystery in this book but its all done really well and you eventually get the answers that are pretty satisfying for the most part

-The Contagion itself is probably the coolest part of the book as it does some pretty cool things and I was never totally sure what was behind it all or where things were going to go. It kept me guessing.

- Lisbeth and her intern Thea, Nova the pilot, "The Kid" are all amazing charaters in their own right. The only one I didn't like was Dylan but im pretty 99% sure that was on purpose. But its cool seeing them go from bright eyed newbies to hardcore kickass survivalists.

-This is the first book in a series of two and im super excited to see where the next book goes.

Conclusion:

I really enjoyed this one. From the characters, to the contagion itself, to the mystery. To reminding me of one of my favorite movies(Aliens). I can't recommend this one enough and that's why I haven't given too many details as there's a lot packed in here and I don't want to spoil any of it! Just trust me when I say you will enjoy it!

Every lie he’d told—every half truth he’d yet to utter—was purposeful. If the Odyssey crew didn’t fight him, he could potentially save them all.
