Infected: A Novel (The Infected) - Softcover
A terrifying thriller that will crawl beneath your skin...and leave fresh blood on every page.
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.

About the Author:
Scott Sigler is the New York Times bestselling author of several novels, including Contagious, Ancestor, Nocturnal, and Pandemic. He lives in San Diego.
From AudioFile:
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.
