Product Description
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.
Infected is the first major print release from Internet phenom Scott Sigler, whose podcast-only audiobooks have drawn an immense cult following, with more than three million individual episodes downloaded. Now Sigler storms the bookstore shelves with this cinematic, relentlessly paced novel that mixes and matches genres, combining horror, technothriller, and suspense in a heady mix that is equal parts Chuck Palahniuk, Michael Crichton, and Stephen King.
Infected will crawl beneath your skin and leave fresh blood on every page.

 Great read! October 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Upon seeing this on another site as an audiobook I immediately picked up the real thing. If you're at all into sci-fi or horror (or both) then this book will keep your eyes glued to it from start to finish. I enjoy horror but with a lot of books and films of the genre, you end up rolling your eyes at the ridiculous revelations which are either too obvious or obnoxious. This book is no eye-roller. There are a few loose ends but I understand there's a sequel on the way - can't wait!

I read for entertainment and this book filled the bill for me. If you're not a book critic this is all the review you'll need.
Best Horror Novel since Early Stephen King September 30, 2008
28 out of 28 found this review helpful
I read this in one day - couldn't put it down. The details of the spores taking over the body and how the guy deals with it are so shocking and gruesome but you can't look away. You have to know what happens next. This is the best horror novel I've read since some of Stephen King's early works. It was original and leaves you wanting more. I hope that Mr. Sigler has more like this in store for us. I highly recommend this book to horror fans.
I DARE You! September 30, 2008

Sigler does an amazing job of blending science and horror. From the get-go this novel will sink its teeth into you and not let go until the very end and even then, you'll be screaming for more. Never has a novel so quickly captured the imagination as this one. The mental images that Sigler gives the reader are so damaging that you might just have to see a shrink to clear your head.
INFECTED is definitely one of the best reads you will ever have the pleasure of experiencing.
I DARE you to but it!
