Thea, Coen, and Nova have escaped from Achlys, only to find themselves imprisoned on a ship they thought was their ticket to safety. Now, the nightmare they thought they’d left behind is about to be unleashed as an act of political warfare, putting the entire galaxy at risk. To prevent an interstellar catastrophe, they’ll have to harness the evil of the deadly Achlys contagion and deploy the only weapons they have left: themselves.

Zahra knew every detail of the plan. House of Wisdom, a massive exploration vessel, had been abandoned by the government of Earth a decade earlier, when a deadly virus broke out and killed everyone on board in a matter of hours. But now it could belong to her people if they were bold enough to take it. All they needed to do was kidnap Jaswinder Bhattacharya - the sole survivor of the tragedy, and the last person whose genetic signature would allow entry to the spaceship.

With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate. What they find at the other end of the signal is a shock: the Aurora, a famous luxury space-liner that vanished on its maiden tour of the solar system more than 20 years ago. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. But a quick trip through the Aurora reveals something isn’t right.

Publisher's Summary
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 project - including 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 buried - and some monsters are only too ready to awaken.
Critic Reviews
“Gripping, thrilling and terrifying in equal measures, Contagion is the perfect intersection of science fiction and horror - I couldn’t look away.” (Amie Kaufman, New York Times best-selling 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. Read this one with the lights on!” (Beth Revis, New York Times best-selling author of the Across the Universe series and Star Wars: Rebel Rising)
“Erin Bowman’s Contagion is everything I want in my science fiction: a cast of smart characters on a desperate rescue mission forced to confront an elusive and unstoppable enemy. I absolutely loved this layered and thrilling adventure and can’t wait to dive back into this world again.” (Veronica Rossi, New York Times best-selling author of the Under the Never Sky series)

Yes!
I wasn’t sure if I’d like this, sci-fi can be hit or miss for me. Plus contagions have been done before, but also hold the potential for lots of tension. Happily, Contagion was well written, engaging and performed well. The tension was good, the reveals were interesting (although I guessed a few) and the storyline had enough uniqueness to not feel like a retread of well worn ground. I listened to it in two days and now I’m sad it’s over. I’ll definitely be getting the next and I recommend this one!

Good YA Focused - Big Cliffhanger
Better than average YA semi-Zombie tale. However, for the adult reader there is just too many plot holes. The main characters are as stupid as a box of rocks. They just don’t think things through. Too bad, because the book has a few interesting premises. Narration was good. Overall a C rating.

Not What I Was Hoping For
Basically, I was expecting a more adult horror novel. Even though it wasn't labeled as YA, that was the vibe I got. Or, possibly it just wasn't as suspenseful as it should've been...
Also, the narration, while not the worst I've ever heard, by any means, was underwhelming, to say the least. Possibly, the book would've seemed more suspenseful with better narration. As it was, I found it a distraction the whole time I was listening.
I am conflicted. On the one hand, I want a refund for not being satisfied with the book... On the other hand, I also want to hear the rest of the story...

I shouldn’t hope everyone in the book dies…
…but here I am. The book could have been so good but I’m half way through and I’m already so frustrated with every character in the story I could care less if any of them die. They are all idiots and I can’t stand stories that can only progress through idiotic actions of the future victims.
I rated narration at 3 stars but she may very well be better with a better story so Amy may very well be a fine narrator.
Hey don’t take my word for it. Check the book out for yourself. Maybe you will like it but if not you can always return it.
I can tell you nothing really happens at all till almost 5 hours in. So maybe that will help. Up till then it’s just scene after scene of idiots talking.

No complaints about the story…but
1) They need to clearly label books as young adult.
2) They need to clearly label that this is book one of a series.

Where is the story?
I have over 100 audiobooks. This one ranks as one of the worst. I couldn’t even finish it it was so boring, boring, boring. It seem like it was just recreational talking on and on and on. Voices of supposedly different people droning on talking about absolutely nothing. There was no suspense, no drama, no sci-fi, nothing to fear, actually there was no story at all. It seemed like it was just words put it into sentences that went nowhere. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anybody. Unless you’ve had a lobotomy Don’t and have nothing else to do don’t bother with this one.

More please.
I'm not gonna lie, I went through a quite a range of different emotions while listening. Mostly annoyance at a lot of their decisions. Still considering the different personalities and their given situation, it never felt implausible. I really enjoyed the experience and look forward to the next book.
As usual I have nothing much to say about the performance. Amy never disappoints. I'd say she's one of the best narrators on here which is saying a lot because there are quite a lot of talented individuals.

Very decent listen.
Overall it was a very good listen. The reader gave a good performance. The story was kind of straight forward but still very much worth listening to. Most of the "twists" I had guessed before reveal.
