McCarthy earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia. He also earned a PhD in geology from the University of Georgia. While pursuing his PhD, McCarthy was a Fulbright scholar.
Writing
McCarthy's main work, a trilogy called the Subterrene War series, was originally intended to be a single book containing three novellas. The first novel in the series, Germline, won the 2012 Compton Crook Award. James Floyd Kelly, writing for Wired, called it "gritty" and "harsh," stating that "it takes real skill to lead a reader into actually seeing, smelling, and hearing (and maybe even tasting) the realities of war."
