Scott Michael Powers

For those who love quirky, little ghost stories, this is a good one. The author’s dark sense of humor shines bright, with sassy dialog and entertaining twists. Highly recommended!

“Powers delivers the suspenseful goods in a much too possible tale of viral apocalypse, supported by science and research, and populated by fully realized characters. Scarcely a page goes by without a keen observation, a clever use of language, and big things to think about. I loved this book.”

If you thought living through the Covid pandemic was like a years-long fever dream, get ready to feel that anxiety multiplied tenfold in The Murder Plague. A setting familiar to most readers and a cast of relatable characters give the dramatic novel a disturbingly intimate feel. … The Murder Plague is a chilling bloodbath that you’ll binge from the edge of your seat.”

The interesting title caught my eye….bought it for a travel book….couldn’t put it down…..there were several story lines throughout the book that kept it interesting…and some of the flashbacks brought perspective….sometimes sci fi books can get way out there….this book kept everything within the realm of believability…….can’t wait for Mr. Powers next book.

An intriguing story that asks “whatever happened to…” a famous literary character. Woven around the city of Brazil, Powers tells a tale of deceit and lies, but the real story is, who’s telling the truth in the end?

A luminous American party girl of modest means pursues her dreams, which don’t necessarily include love, with a man of much wealth and little character. Imaginative, moving, and intriguing, this tale follows the efforts of a servant to use his psychic gifts to protect her from the intrigues of her new husband. Scott Michael Powers writes with poise and polish, and gives us a gem of story.

“The Murder Plague is a high stakes dystopian thriller with well developed characters and heart pounding action that will keep you turning the pages. Shocking twists and turns keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. The ‘what if’ in this book scared me in the best possible way. You will remember it long after you read the last page.”

Quick reads are often fun when done right! This one nails it in about 20 minutes or so with some fantastic imagery … one quite poetic considering the character’s unsavory transgressions. And the ending leaves the reader to interpret its meaning in a couple of different ways.

Got this book in time for Christmas and immediately started reading it. I could not put it down and ended up reading it in record time. Scott does a wonderful job in putting it all together for an exciting finish. Can’t wait for the next one.

If the Roswell incident fascinates you like it does me, you need to read The Roswell Swatch. Scott Michael Powers, veteran newspaper journalist has written a fast paced story with all the ingredients, a strong female protagonist, a zany conspiracy partner, government bad guys, and crooked scientists. A perfect Christmas present!

“From the very beginning, The Murder Plague conjure a world where no one is safe and even the strong may not survive. Scott Michael Powers tells a frightening and realistic story of how easily life can deteriorate with a careless act. Compelling, three-dimensional characters give substance to a world that has changed beyond recognition. I couldn’t put it down. Excellent read!”

“Ripped-from-the-headlines” thriller goes straight for the jugular. This is a frighteningly believable story that elevates pandemic fears into a sweat-inducing reading experience.”
