Biographical note
Born in 1969 outside Göteborg on the Swedish west coast, Fredrik T. Olsson spent most of his childhood writing, acting and producing plays. Refusing to grow up, this is pretty much what he has kept doing since. A full-time screenwriter for film and television since 1995, Fredrik has written scripts in genres ranging from comedy to thrillers, as well as developing, showrunning and head-writing original material for various Swedish networks. He is also a standup comedian and makes occasional contributions as a director.Secrets are unveiled with a masterful sense of pace . . . Olsson has the page-turning power of Michael Crichton
The Sun
A colourful blockbuster thriller couched in distinctly cinematic terms
The Independent
'Chain of Events' has a conceit at its heart that is so simple and clever I wish I'd thought of it. If you like your clocks ticking and your end of the world nighing and your pace fast and relentless, all shot through with a little bloody pandemic and code cracking, then boy are you ever going to love this book. I did.

Thrilling action sequences... compulsive reading

Olsson's debut, a world-in-peril thriller, gets high marks for developing an original concept and building suspense
Publishers Weekly
Exhilerating. Utterly exhausting. Totally addictive. Unbelievably clever and if you want your thrillers to be, well you know, actually thrilling, you have come to the right place.
Liz Loves Books
Swedish scriptwriter Olsson's first novel amps up the action via a doomsday scenario set in Europe . . . Olsson lines up a sympathetic and well-developed cast of characters, inserts them into some interesting places, and allows very few dull moments, especially once the action really gets rolling. An end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it thriller featuring two unlikely, but very likable, protagonists.
