Christopher John Poradie kníh
Tento autor skúma ľudskú podstatu v extrémnych podmienkach a často sa zameriava na psychologické dopady katastrof a izolácie. Jeho diela sa vyznačujú prenikavým pohľadom na to, ako sa ľudia správajú, keď sú nútení čeliť existenčným hrozbám, či už ide o prírodné katastrofy, alebo o spoločenský kolaps. S ľahkosťou sa pohybuje medzi žánrami, od špekulatívnej fikcie po gotické romány a detektívne thrillery, pričom jeho charakteristickým znakom je vždy hlboký záujem o medziľudské vzťahy a psychológiu postáv.
