About

'If you loved The Twilight Zone, this is for you. It's a mind-blower.' STEPHEN KING

––––––––––––––––––––––––––


"The future of warfare – if not humanity – changed on a hot August day on the grounds of a naval base more than 1,000 miles from the nearest ocean. The discovery involved a single scientist and a model airplane."


When every pilot in the country receives a call from their mother begging them not to fly, air travel comes to a halt. But none of the mothers remember making these calls – and some weren't alive to make them.

As senior officials scramble for answers, a teenager named Charlie makes online documentaries about her new home, a place where locals insist they saw passengers survive a plane crash, only to be reported as dead. And, unknown to Charlie, a place where renowned scientist Marty Hazleton once conducted experiments for making planes disappear…


With the growing threats of nuclear weaponry and artificial intelligence, what begins as a ground stop becomes a threat to civilization as we know it in this high-octane, political thriller perfect for fans of Dan Brown and Frederick Forsyth.

PRAISE FOR SCOTT CARSON


'One of the best of the best.' MICHAEL CONNELLY

'Terrific suspense.' DEAN KOONTZ

'DEPARTURE 37 is a rollicking, and at times terrifying, mashup of the 20th and 21st century political, nuclear, and technological tensions and ambitions. It's smart, inventive, breathlessly paced, and most importantly, humane.' PAUL TREMBLAY

'In this striking thriller, Carson nimbly entwines a contemporary coming-of-age story with a tale of Cold War paranoia. It's a winner.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

'Wildly imaginative and genuinely, nailbitingly suspenseful.' BOOKLIST
