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.

Editorial Reviews
Editorial 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
“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
“Scott Sigler’s Infected is a
bucking pulp pony that throws you this way and that, and just when you think
you’ve got your balance, that ole pony bucks the other way.All in
all, one hell of an exhilarating ride, and highly recommended.” —Joe R. Lansdale, World Horror Convention Grand Master and six-time Bram Stoker Award–winning author
“Sigler is the Richard Matheson of the 21st
Century…smart and creepy, Infected is a flawless
thinking-person’s thriller.Bravo to a bold new talent!” —Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award–winning author
“Infected is as unnerving as a scream in
a morgue…A breakout novel that gets under your skin. If the voice in your head
is Sigler’s, you’re locked in for a very scary night.” —E. E. Knight
“Horror mavens rejoice! Infected is
a revelation—a novel that lives up to its hype. From page one, the story of a
mysterious smart-virus that turns its hosts into deadly drooling drones creeps
up on a reader like the ratchet of a roller coaster climbing toward its
inevitable crest. Sigler brings the folksy character detail of Stephen King,
the conceptual panache of Clive Barker, and the oozing, shuddery pathologies of
a David Cronenberg movie.Zombies, spies, conspiracies, and gallons
of goo make this the fastest read in the west! Highest recommendation!” —Jay Bonansinga, national bestselling author of Shattered, Twisted, Frozen, and The Sinking of the Eastland
“Powerfully written…an unforgettable central
character.” —Dallas Morning News
“Fraught with tension…Invasion of the Body
Snatchers meets The Hot Zone.” —Rocky Mountain News
“Riveting…Even hardened genre fans will find
themselves whimpering at each new revelation.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Sigler has a unique talent for keeping readers on
the edge of their seats; I absolutely had to know what was going to happen next.
Infected is full of mayhem, action,
and gore—and you won’t be able to put it down.” —Dave Wellington, author of 13 Bullets and the Monster Island trilogy
