![]() Sarah Lotz: The initial idea came from the fact that I'm flight phobic and have always wanted to write a novel about air disasters as a way to cope with this irrational fear. It's an interesting piece of zeitgeist-tapping that's getting a big release and promotion from a big publisher. The novel is written in the form of news reports, emails, interview transcripts, social media posts as the author herself becomes a character in her own novel, gathering it all together and conducting interviews in a way that reflects the sprawling, epic quality of an interconnected world. From there, a ripple effect of cryptic messages, signs and portents, religious extremism, apocalyptic prophecies and murderous conspiracies run side-by-side as the story hops from one part of the world to another. ![]() ![]() The plot involves four planes crashing at the same time in different parts of the world and one person from each crash miraculously survives: four children and a woman. The Three is one of the more interesting mainstream apocalyptic thrillers out right now, garnering good reviews and major promotions on Amazon and the like. ![]() Every now and then, I get sent advance copies of books and graphic novels and offered a chance to interview the authors. ![]()
