“The Three is really wonderful, a mix of Michael Crichton and Shirley Jackson. Hard to put down and vastly entertaining.”
— Stephen King
-
“A spellbinding tale of science
fiction, religious fervor, and media madness that makes us wonder who, exactly,
are the monsters.”
— Washington Post

“Lotz is an excellent storyteller, and she favors subtle innuendo over big shocks. Her unsettling tale builds to a crescendo that will have readers leaving the lights on long after they finish the book. Recommended for fans of sf and apocalyptic thrillers by authors such as Justin Cronin and Stephen King.”

“Lotz has honed her writing skills
as a screenwriter and YA author, and here she spins a tail of disaster and
fanaticism that is both entertaining and scarily realistic. The Three is the real deal: gripping,
unpredictable, and utterly satisfying.”
— BookPage

“Lotz tells the story through a
fabricated nonfiction book within the novel called
Black Thursday: From Crash to Conspiracy: Inside the Phenomenon of The Three…This
eclectic style of storytelling provides just enough information to follow the
developing events, while the reader grasps for the crucial information that
will solve the mystery of the enigmatic children.An engaging thriller with
clues that will keep you guessing.”
— Kirkus Reviews
-
“The author’s use of the oral-history format, with
its shifting voices and points of view, is a stroke of genius: the
reader is in a state of near-constant confusion at the beginning, which
is slowly replaced by unease and then dread as the various commentators
start to see the bigger picture. A very creepy, very effective novel.”

“Lotz is a ferociously imaginative storyteller whose twisty plots
will kick the stairs out from under you.”
