Rogue Event
In a near-future world where surveillance is total and dissent is a capital offense, one anomalous event sets off a chain reaction that the system cannot contain. Rogue Event is a taut, propulsive dystopian thriller — a chilling vision of what happens when the machinery of control meets the one thing it cannot predict: a human being who refuses to disappear. Erickson's world-building is meticulous, his pacing relentless, and his social critique as sharp as anything in the tradition of Huxley and Orwell.

Critical Acclaim
“A dystopian concept that fits nicely alongside the stories of Huxley and Orwell.”
“Erickson's plot is original and compelling, and his writing is a treat to read.”
“Mr. Erickson is unarguably a very talented writer, but more than that he genuinely impressed me with his thorough world-building and sheer creativeness on many levels in such a short amount of time. Some of the writing was downright lyrical in the simple elegance of the prose, and other times I was nearly breathless from the intensity and violent passion. A must read for Sci-Fi fans.”
“I was totally hooked and read it in one sitting. The way Erickson writes is captivating from the beginning and you just want to keep reading and reading and not stop. It is both descriptive and has great world building but also is fast moving and unpredictable.”
