A smart new thriller that breaks the traditional horror rules, from the world’s most successful podcasting author.
Across America, ordinary people are suddenly turning into raving murderers, possessed with inhuman strength. Dew Phillips, a specialist working for the CIA, risks his life as he travels across the country, trying to stop the possessed killers. Meanwhile, Margaret Montoya, a CDC scientist, discovers the terrifying cause of the infection the killers have contracted: a parasite that is technological rather than biological in origin, engineered with a complexity far beyond modern science. And in a small town, one young man battles with his own body as he realizes that he is infected, and the fate of the world may depend on his fight to retain his sanity.
Reviews
James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Judas Strain and Black Order...
"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!"
Dallas Morning News...
"Powerfully written . . . an unforgettable central character."
Lincoln Child, New York Times bestselling author of Deep Storm and Death Match...
"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."
Rocky Mountain News...
"Fraught with tension . . . Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets The Hot Zone."
Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Bad Moon Rising and Ghost Road Blues...
"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!"
Publishers Weekly (starred review)...
"Riveting . . . even hardened genre fans will find themselves whimpering at each new revelation."
Jay Bonansinga, national bestselling author of Shattered, Twisted, Frozen, and
"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!"
