Relation In Favor Of Books Infected (Infected #1)
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.

Scott Sigler is a podcast author - #1 on every aggregator, icluding Itunes. Infected is his first published novel. I picked it up because the cover looked cool, and the title sounded creepy. The short synopsis inside the front cover convinced me to buy it.Boy, was I glad I did!Infected is an original story that's well told, thought provoking, and fun to read. The characters are well written and believable and the story is intriguing. This book gave me the feeling that all this was happening inMeh! 2.5 starsI had high hopes for this one, as I am thoroughly enjoying my journey through the Generations Trilogy. Completing this one was truly a struggle for me. The main idea is brilliant. I am not sure why I could not dig in and enjoy this book.
WHAT. THE. FUCK?!Um. I was excited to read this book because few many people said it's zombie. I WAS LIKE, HELL YEAH!Well, nope...OK...I think this book...well, what I think of this book... When Perry were trying to get things out of his body...SKIN... THAT'S DISGUSTED AT THE END OF BOOK, I was like..I don't want the damn thing inside of my body... I REPEAT, WHAT. THE. F.U.C.K.!
Well....humm, this review is going to be a little mixed. First I gave it 2 stars, but I think I'm going to at least try the next book in the series. Now, why the rating and why try the next book?Well, the idea behind the book is interesting. As movie goers and readers already know. For example (view spoiler)[ The Puppet Masters, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the movie Alien...and many, many more. (hide spoiler)] The book was interesting enough that I found I wanted to see how the writer worked
AWESOME!!Totally awesome.Love this first book.I was getting the creepy-willies all while reading it.
This book has been on my wishlist since 2008, but it just never really made its way into my hands. Until now, when we have a couple things align to make that happen. The first thing that it's October. I love October - it's my favorite reading month, the month when I read all sorts of demented horror-y stuff all month long and don't feel a bit guilty about it. Err... not that I do anyway, but, y'know, I try to vary my reading and stuff. So, right, October, horror required. Check. The next thing
This book did nothing for me. If you're going to give me action, then give me action I can believe and not have to stop every other page and question what I'm reading. If you're going to give me violence and gore (and be warned, there is a lot of violence and gore here) then give me violence and gore I can believe and not something just for the sake of writing something violent.The concept of alien spores growing in humans was easier for me to swallow than anything else in this story and when it
