Jeffrey Weinzweig

Master of the Techno-Medical Thriller

Works of Rogue Science & Dark Illusion

My debut novel, CONTRAPTIONS (Nexus Press), a techno-medical thriller, received critical acclaim. Kirkus Reviews wrote: "Fans of Michael Crichton and Clive Cussler will feel at home with this fast-paced novel's rogue science." USA Today published a feature article on the novel's scientific concepts (January 2025). CONTRAPTIONS was also named a Finalist for the American Fiction Awards (2025), a Finalist for the Next Generation Indie Book Awards (2025), a Distinguished Favorite for the NYC Big Book Award (2025), a Semifinalist in Mystery/Thriller for the 14th Annual Kindle Book Awards (2025), and a Distinguished Favorite for the Independent Press Award (2026). SLEIGHT OF MIND is my second novel.
