Description

What happens when a physicist-turned-writer sets her literary thriller in the eerie aftermath of Chernobyl? You get The Exclusion Zone—a haunting, thought-provoking novel that weaves fear, science, and the untold stories of women in STEM. I sat down with author Alexis von Konigslow to talk about her unique academic path, the inspiration behind the book, and why she hopes readers come away thinking, I’m smarter than I thought.
The Exclusion Zone is from publisher Wolsak & Wynn.
Follow Alexis on Instagram and keep an eye out for her debut thriller.
