Product Description:
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.
Infected is the first major print release from Internet phenom Scott Sigler, whose podcast-only audiobooks have drawn an immense cult following, with more than three million individual episodes downloaded. Now Sigler storms the bookstore shelves with this cinematic, relentlessly paced novel that mixes and matches genres, combining horror, technothriller, and suspense in a heady mix that is equal parts Chuck Palahniuk, Michael Crichton, and Stephen King.
Infected will crawl beneath your skin and leave fresh blood on every page.

Let's see... I came upon this book in audio form while checking out the podcasts on my phone... take note this was a free audiobook... after about maybe 10 chapters or so (it's amazing I lasted that long) I finally learned why it was a free audiobook:

Rating:  - Repetitive, violent and ultimately boring
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.
Rating:  - Non graphic graphic comic
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.
Rating:  - Truly excellent
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.
Rating: - "The Ouchie I can hold in my Hand" and other tales of the terrible
"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, ... Read More
