Guest blog: Disasters! DRAGON VIRUS by Laura Anne Gilman
When Kevin Anderson approached me about being part of the Storybundle for his Disasters collection, I was surprised – because I’d never thought of DRAGON VIRUS in that way before. I mean, disaster books are action-adventure stories, as a rule. DRAGON VIRUS has action, and it has adventure, and courage and tragedy and all that, but…a disaster story?
Well, yes. Once I’d thought about it, yes.
-
a sudden event, such as an accident or a natural catastrophe, that causes great damage or loss of life.“159 people died in the disaster”
-
denoting a genre of films that use natural or accidental catastrophe as the mainspring of plot and setting.modifier noun: disaster“a disaster movie”
-
an event or fact that has unfortunate consequences.
-
From the extinction-bent Wheelies to the families struggling to survive when the rules keep changing, DRAGON VIRUS is about disaster… and how nothing emerges – or survives – unchanged. And how, scary as it seems at the time, no matter how we despair, change isn’t the end.
Don’t believe me? Pick up a copy a DRAGON VIRUS via Storybundle, and discover for yourself. And while you’re at it, pick up ten other novels of disaster, courage, and change, too…
