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, author of The Judas Strain

'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, author of Deep Storm

'Sigler is the Richard Matheson of the 21st Century...smart and creepy, INFECTED is a flawless thinking-persons thriller. Bravo to a bold new talent!' --Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Bad Moon Rising

Review
'Gripping, pacy and often stomach-churningly violent...hard to put down' (Independent 20080328)

'Sigler is masterful at grabbing the reader by the throat and refusing to let go...INFECTED is a marvel of gonzo, in-your-face, up-to-the-minute terror.' (Lincoln Child, author of Deep Storm 20080801)

'Part Stephen King, part Chuck Palahniuk...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, author of The Judas Strain 20080716)

'Sigler is the Richard Matheson of the 21st Century...smart and creepy, INFECTED is a flawless thinking-persons thriller. Bravo to a bold new talent!' (Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Bad Moon Rising 20080818)

'Even hardened genre fans will find themselves whimpering at each new revelation. This terrifying page-turner could be the author's breakout book.'

(Publisher's Weekly - Starred review )

'From where I stand, Sigler is at the top of the tree' (Jason Bradbury, BBC, on EarthCore )

'This novel's got it all: cutting-edge science; a perfectly-realized setting; terror both plausible and profoundly unsettling. EarthCore is more exciting than a thriller has any right to be!' (Lincoln Child on EarthCore )

'Bad things happen to bad people in this book. Then they happen some more. Very. Bad. Things. Things that make you wonder just what sort of childhood the author must have lived through. No way I'm going caving with him anytime soon. Or letting him near knives in my presence.' (Evo Terra, host of XM Satellite and FM syndicated radio show 'The Dragon Page' on EarthCore )

'EarthCore is in-your-face, steel-tipped boot on your throat, speed-metal fiction. Nail-biting suspense and non-stop action breathe life into his debut novel' (Tee Morris, co-author of Podcasting for Dummies )

'The Hot Zone meets "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" as an unidentified "virus" sweeps America. It is as graphically horrid as Palahniuk and as compulsive as Stephen King' (Bookseller )

'Why then choose INFECTED over the latest cinematic thrillers? Because it packs more thrills and ingenious ideas into its 339 pages than Hollywood has managed in 100 years...imagine a genetic splice of The Last Boy Scout, Body Snatchers and Richard Matheson's Shrinking Man, and you're on the way to understanding the slack-jawed fun of INFECTED' (SFX )

'Gripping, pacy and often stomach-churningly violent...Sigler seems to have star potential' (Guy Adams in The Independent )

'Fast-paced and engaging...a compelling read and an exciting story well-told' (Black Static )

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   10 of 11 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars A fun horror romp, 31 Jul 2008 By  Colin Forbes (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Great to see the Scott Sigler making the crossover from his "new media" podcasting roots into the traditional publishing arena. An updated version of a story originally told as a serialised audio drama, Infected is a real page-turner. The plight of the central character, Perry, is not for the faint-hearted, but while you might feel squeamish about learning what happens next you also feel compelled to read on and discover how it all pans out. A difficult balance to strike in a novel, but one that has been expertly handled by the author. Scott Sigler is definitely one to watch and I'm glad to learn that a sequel is already in progress.

A gripping story, combined with well-realised characters, I was hooked from beginning to end. A word of warning though - this book is most certainly not for the faint-hearted or weak-stomached. If you can handle the gore Sigler dishes out, you're in for a great ride! Be sure to check out Sigler's other works, particularly his podcast novels - all superb and highly recommended.

Williams - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I have been a fan of Scotts work since Earthcore and this one proves that his writing is improving all of the time. this is a great story of alien infestation and government agencies reacting to contain and destroy the source of the infection. Most of the story takes place from the view of one infected victim and how he reacts as the alien infection takes hold. If you have read any of Scotts other work you will know what to expect and this one doesn't disappoint. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
