Erich Krauss is a New York Times bestselling author and has written more than thirty books. For more than two decades he traveled the globe searching for inspiration for his writing, including fighting professionally in Muay Thai bouts in Thailand, living with an Indian tribe deep in the Amazon, hang gliding throughout Central America, and bicycling across the United States and Canada. While writing on the road, he dreamed up a new publishing model where author and publisher work closely together to bring the best possible books to market. In 2006 he created Victory Belt Publishing and applied this model, which quickly led to a host of runaway New York Times and international bestsellers. After more than fifteen years as president and publisher of Victory Belt, Krauss took a step back in 2020 to revisit his passion—writing fiction. Drawing from his world travels as well as the current global health crisis, he wrote Primitives, a post-apocalyptic thriller in the vein of two of his favorite novels, World War Z and The Road.

Named as "One of The 19 best science fiction books of 2022 ...according to Goodreads" —Business Insider"This plotline.....unfolds with enough twists and turns to keep readers invested, and the satisfying ending will have readers curious about what Krauss does next."—Publisher's Weekly“Primitives easily earns a score of 4 out of 4 for its thrilling adventure and masterful storytelling. It would most appeal to fans of science fiction looking for a gritty, fascinating, post-apocalyptic world and a daring adventure. As for me, it has been a very long time since a book has grabbed me the way this one did, and I can see myself reading it again and again. Primitives has earned itself a permanent place on my bookshelf.” —OnlineBookClub"MUST READ. Primitives was a book right in my alley.
