About this listen

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.©2008 Scott Sigler; (P)2008 Random House, Inc.

Infected is the best book.
Nobody know books like me... they have lots of paper, most paper comes from Chi-na. They are trying to steal our jobs, steal our books and steal our words. Not like Scott, Scott blames the aliens, who enter illegally, from space, this is why we need a space force, to stop illegal aliens from space. Scott is an American unlike this illegal aliens, but these aren't little green men, instead virus. Because Scott writes, science and then he writes fiction. Its science and its fiction, but its like me its hard. Its hard science fiction. Its the best like me. Trust me no one knows books better than me. I know I read a lot, I read books, but only the best books that's why I read Scott's books.

For a more serious review...

Infected is an amazing story. It's about pain and horror. Both the fantastical and the real. Scott takes a hard science fiction approach to his writing and never was it more evident than here. When I introduced my father to Scott's writing I first gave him Ancestor and this. This is perhaps some of his best writing. I personally am a fan of how he reads apparently some others aren't they prefer a more sombre and balanced tone. I like the way Scott puts his all into his performance and I think it is one without a doubt. However, it is the story that shines here. It is perhaps the BEST intro into his work, seeing how he blends science fiction with our current understanding best theories and current science to create interesting stories. A must-read if to just see how Scott is as author.

I love Scott. The way he narrates his own works, it makes it feel more authentic. Having a stellar reader can make an average work amazing but having an average one shows the true colours of a peice. That is why i love Scott's works.
