Publisher's summary

Across America a mysterious disease is turning ordinary people into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on strangers, themselves, and even their own families. Working under the government’s shroud of secrecy, CIA operative Dew Phillips crisscrosses the country trying in vain to capture a live victim. With only decomposing corpses for clues, CDC epidemiologist Margaret Montoya races to analyze the science behind this deadly contagion. She discovers that these killers all have one thing in common–they’ve been contaminated by a bioengineered parasite, shaped by a complexity far beyond the limits of known science.

Meanwhile Perry Dawsey–a hulking former football star now resigned to life as a cubicle-bound desk jockey–awakens one morning to find several mysterious welts growing on his body. Soon Perry finds himself acting and thinking strangely, hearing voices . . . he is infected. The fate of the human race may well depend on the bloody war Perry must wage with his own body, because the parasites want something from him, something that goes beyond mere murder.

Critic reviews

"Part Stephen King, part Chuck Palahniuk, Infected blends science fiction and horror into a pulpy masterpiece of action, terror, and suspense. Three recommendations: don't read it at night, or just after you've eaten a full meal, or if you're weak of heart. You've been warned!"—James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Judas Strain and Black Order

“Powerfully written . . . an unforgettable central character.” —Dallas Morning News

“Sigler is masterful at grabbing the reader by the throat and refusing to let go. Just when I thought I knew what abyss he was leading me across, he knocked the bridge out from under... I think I screamed the whole way down... Infected is a marvel of gonzo, in-your-face, up-to-the-minute terror.”—Lincoln Child, New York Times bestselling author of Deep Storm and Death Match

Any additional comments?

I have to give Scott Sigler high marks I would of never considered audio books without him and a Zune hd. Not being a reader type, I got a Zune to watch movies at work and it's podcast folder made me curious and I found his podcast novels and fell in love with audio books. Anyways great books Infected, Contagious and soon to be released Pandemic are about aliens trying to take over, I don't do spoilers so I'll leave it at that. The Sig all so narrates all his work and does a great job at it.

fantastic

the bathroom scenes are amazing. i will definitely continue the series. I can't wait <>

Great Book BAD NARRATION!!

This was such a great book but the narration was horrible. I contemplated only giving it 3 stars because of that, however, I really loved the story. I have read other reviews for the sequel "Contagious" and everyone says that Mr. Sigler does a better job narrating it, I truly hope so. Still, all in all, the story is good just buy the book with an open mind!!

Scott Sigler should stick to his day job

Good story overall but Scott’s performance made this book almost unlistenable. At times his reflections made it sound like he’s reading a children’s novel.

Wow get this book

Scott sigler hits a home run with this book if you are on the fence about getting this book take the leap worth the credit one hell of a bloody ride

This is sci-fi...NOT horror

I really thought I was going to fall in love with this one but I just couldn't get into this series. I have a great imagination however, I like to feel like what I am reading is happening around me, as I progress through the book. The triangle thing is too far-fetched for me...I mean, even triangle-shaped irises??? Triangle things attacking the military??? If it hadn't been for that, the narrator's attempts at transitioning between characters by changing his voice would have been waaaay more tolerable. Everything else was heading in the right direction, right down to the gore factor. Lol, I think I would have appreciated the book more if I had known it was sci-fi so that I could have set it aside for a day I felt like that type of read. I was looking for an apocalyptic horror novel because I am not yet bored with the contagion-wreaking-havoc-on-humanity type of fiction.

No bout a doubt it, it was Awesome!

Filled with a great plot, relatable characters and plenty of action, I highly recommend Infected!

i was a little unsure in the beginning

when it started with the warning... i was worried. but the book was so good I listened to it outside of when I was driving and I just finished it this morning. I'm so hooked, I've already downloaded the second book. Scott did a great job writing and reading this book! i can't wait to see where the next book takes me.

FUN sci-fi. Laugh in the car cheer for the GG fun

Very fun story and a great read by the author. I cheered for the good guys and laughed at the bad guys and couldn't wait to hear what would happen next.
