I was happy to be invited to contribute to author John Scalzi’s Big Ideas blog, in which authors describe the big idea behind their works. For ONE OF US, I was able to share the nonfiction idea behind the novel, which started as a misunderstood monster story and became a much more ambitious examination of prejudice.
I hope you’ll check it out here.
Danielle at Books, Vertigo & Tea recently interviewed me about ONE OF US. I really enjoyed the interview as she dug deep about decisions I made in writing the book.
I hope you’ll check it out here and have a great day.
STARBURST, a premier sci-fi magazine published in the UK, reviewed ONE OF US, writing, “It’s possible to read ONE OF US as a treatise on the corrosive consequences of intolerance, social exclusion and inequality. But it’s no less rewarding to treat DiLouie’s novel as a captivating, if sometimes harrowing, foray into a vividly evoked fictional world…”
I was particularly happy with this review, as the reviewer (Ian White) really got what I was trying to do, and summarizes the novel perfectly. Thank you, Mr. White and STARBURST!

ONE OF US releases July 17, 2018! You can pick it up at any physical or online bookstore.
THE WASHINGTON POST listed ONE OF US (Orbit, July 18, 2018) as one of the three “best science fiction and fantasy books out this month”, writing, “Its portrayal of hatred feels all too real — and will stay with you long after the book is done.”
The other novels were Prentice Rollins’ THE FURNACE (Tor) and Rich Larson’s ANNEX (Orbit).
Thank you, WASHINGTON POST!
The Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy blog picked ONE OF US as one of its list of “Best Science Fiction & Fantasy Books of July 2018.”
Thanks, B&N!
Check out the list here, which has a lot of great reads.
Hard at work on the third episode of THE FRONT series with Timothy W. Long and David Moody–THE FRONT: BERLIN OR BUST.
In the first episode by Timothy Long, the Nazis unleash a serum to turn its soldiers fighting in the Ardennes offensive into super soldiers, only to see the entire front dissolve in slaughter as the infected turn on each other and everybody else. It’s up to the American 101st Airborne at Bastogne to hold them…
In the second episode by David Moody, the British Red Devils get in on the action, dropping on Poland to raid a concentration camp where the serum was being tested on prisoners.
Episode 3 sees the German paratroopers, the Fallschirmjager, join forces with their bitter enemies the Americans and British to stage a daring joint drop operation on Berlin, which has fallen to the Overman germ.
This has been a lot of fun to write, especially all the research on what it was like on the German side of WW2.
The book is 3/4 done and will be out around the end of August. Very sorry for the long wait for this one!
I hope you’ll check out BERLIN OR BUST. It’s WW2 like you’ve never read it before.
