"The Plague Forge" delivers an unbeatable combination of knockout
action and kick-ass characters as the secrets to the ultimate alien
mystery from "The Darwin Elevator" and "The Exodus Towers" are
about to be unraveled.
The hunt is on for the mysterious keys left by the alien Builders.
While Skyler's team of immune scavengers scatters around the
disease-ravaged globe in search of the artifacts, Skyler himself
finds much more than he expected in the African desert, where he
stumbles upon surprising Builder relics--and thousands of
bloodthirsty subhumans. From the slums and fortresses of Darwin to
the jungles of Brazil and beyond, Skyler and company are in for a
wild ride, jam-packed with daunting challenges, run-and-gun
adventure, and unexpected betrayals--all in a race against time to
finally answer the great questions that have plagued humanity for
decades: Who are the Builders, and what do they want with Earth?
Praise for "The Darwin Elevator"
" "
"A hell of a fun book."--James S. A. Corey, "New York Times
"bestselling author of "Abaddon's Gate"
" Jason M.] Hough's first novel combines the rapid-fire action and
memorable characters associated with Joss Whedon's short-lived
"Firefly" TV series with the accessibility and scientific acumen of
J. S. Corey's 'Expanse' series."--"Library Journal" (starred
review)
"The best part about alien stories is their mystery, and Jason
Hough understands that like no other. Full of compelling characters
and thick with tension, "The Darwin Elevator" delivers both despair
and hope along with a gigantic dose of wonder. It's a brilliant
debut, and Hough can take my money whenever he writes anything from
now on."--Kevin Hearne, "New York Times" bestselling author of The
Iron Druid Chronicles
"Newcomer Hough displays a talent for imaginative plotting and
realistic dialogue, and the brisk pacing and cliffhanger ending
will keep readers enthralled and eagerly awaiting the next
installment."--"Publishers Weekly"
"Jason M. Hough does a great job with this huge story. The world
of Darwin and the Elevator is deliciously complex and satisfying.
Skyler, Tania, and all the other characters are delightfully drawn
and fun to spend time with. . . . The story unfolds with just the
right balance of high adventure, espionage, humor, and emotional
truth. . . . As soon as you finish, you'll want more."--"Analog"
"A debut novel unlike any other . . . This is something special.
Something iconic. "The Darwin Elevator" is full of majesty and
wonder, mystery and mayhem, colorful characters and insidious
schemes."--"SF Signal"
"Fun, action-packed and entertaining . . . a sure contender for
science fiction debut of the year "--"Pat's Fantasy Hotlist"
"Claustrophobic, intense, and satisfying . . . I couldn't put this
book down. "The Darwin Elevator" depicts a terrifying world,
suspends it from a delicate thread, and forces you to read with
held breath as you anticipate the inevitable fall."--Hugh Howey,
"New York Times" bestselling author of "Wool"
