Product Description:
A terrifying thriller that will crawl beneath your skin . . . and leave fresh blood on every page.
A mysterious disease is turning thousands of ordinary Americans into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on strangers, their own families, and even themselves. And one morning, ex–football star Perry Dawsey awakens to find mysterious welts growing all over his body. Soon Perry finds himself acting and thinking strangely, hearing voices, fighting uncontrollable rage . . . he is infected. Worse, the disease wants something from him, something that could alter the fate of the human race.

This book started out as a great ride, interesting plot, well written and then devolved into something bloody, annoying and just plain boring. I really wanted to enjoy it but finally started skimming pages just to have the thing done with.

INFECTED is an intense, psychotic, entertaining book. It is violent, sicko and actually a lot of fun. It is a graphic novel without the graphics. Writing this story had to require a lot of imagination and I hope the author has enough imagination left for a sequel.

Captivating and well written, this book is definitely worth owning. Imagine 28 Days later if it had been written by Michael Crichton, and you've essentially got this book.

"Something is in the air tonight" seems to fit quite nicely with Infected because, quite literally, there is something in the air and it is causing some a little thing called insanity. Just ask Dew: assigned to the "project" after his fair share of known and silent wars, he's been noticing his fair share of oddities. He's watched a man go insane and, well, take that to the extreme, has watched loss firsthand and has seen fit to blame himself, and - or course - he's seen the triangles. The triangles, a sort of mysterious growth that appears on people right before than lose their minds, with quickly decomposing features that seem like biological war, terrorism, or something worse.
And, worse yet, these occurrences are becoming commonplace.
One thing about Infected that I can say with certainty is that it has an engrossing way of telling its tale. With only a minimal amount of effort it begins the long trek into describing the hosts, the incubation process that the hosts encounter, and the efforts that are being made to deal with them. Along with that are all the things that you would expect with this type of outbreak: the cover-up (or S.A.R.S. epidemic, if you ask the press), the maddening pace to try and find whatever is causing the triangles, the proverbial shots in the dark that are taken to try to unlock this strange biological puzzle, and the loss of people - both innocent and infected alike. The story is written in a way that is fast pace too, making it a read that one can zoom through. And the ending - let's just say the ending is a beast of beauty and leaves the gates open for something more terrifying the subsequent go around.
If you are looking for a book with gore, some terrible deaths (quality is the name of this game, not quantity as in many situations) to plug in for ambience, and a weird world in which Triangles are terrifying then you should look no further than Infected. It had all the stuff that makes a horror book horrifying - namely the fact that it could occur in some alternate "here and now."
Recommended.

Listened to this twice and read it once... still makes my skin crawl! Sigler has a way of turning a comfortable folksy style into a full-on nightmare! Bring on the subsequent one Scott; I need my fix!!!
