OLDER FICTION
Bowman, Erin

Contagion

(3) YA An unfit crew answers a distress call from a drilling operation on the horrific planet Achlys and finds everyone dead--except for one boy. As the crew members uncover the history of Black Quarry, it becomes clear that one of them has a personal connection with this terrible place. Well-paced and tense, Bowman's novel is a successful mash-up of bio-horror and industrial science fiction.
