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.

What the critics say

"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

why am I surprised

Every single Siegler book I get is always a page turner that I obsessively cling to until it's finished. This one was no different. Definitely worth a listen!

A good novel with good characters.

Admittedly, I struggled to finish this one. The narration killed it for me, and I had to speed it up. Here's hoping authors other books are better narratorated

Truely Horrifying

This book was deffinately an amazing listen. I enjoyed nearly every moment. Although the female character voices could use a little work, it's still an amazing book that I believe everyone should listen to.

Enough with the foul language.

The overuse of the excessively foul language almost ruined this book for me. I did enjoy the characters I enjoyed the story but I really struggled to get through with the foul language.

Worth it.

Really interesting take on the zombie-ish genre. Now I know what my next two purchases will be.

I was a bit addicted!

I actually found myself jonesing for the story! What’s Perry dealing with now? Was non stop action from beginning to end. Now, on to Contagious!
