Review

"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



“Fraught with tension . . . Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets The Hot Zone.”

—Rocky Mountain News



“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 of Bad Moon Rising and Ghost Road Blues

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)



"Horror mavens rejoice! Infected is a revelation -- a novel that lives up to its hype.

This so-called "director's cut" of Sigler's thriller deems itself a cinematic experience sure to put a scare into the listener. A mysterious disease is causing ordinary people to commit brutal murders--even of family and friends. CIA Agent Drew Phillips is trying to get his hands on a live victim for epidemiologists. As narrator, Sigler seems unenthusiastic about his own story--he offers a swift reading, complete with a cheesy score. Sigler's vocal characterizations do not often vary from the matter-of fact tone he uses for the narrative. Though there are a few creative techniques at work--for example, dialogue is delivered through a fuzzy speaker to represent telephone conversations--the final result is mediocre.
