From the acclaimed author of Infected comes an epic and exhilarating story of humanity’s secret battle against a horrific enemy. Across America, a mysterious pathogen transforms ordinary people into raging killers, psychopaths driven by a terrifying, alien agenda. The human race fights back, yet after every battle the disease responds, adapts, using sophisticated strategies and brilliant ruses to fool its pursuers. The only possible explanation: The epidemic is driven not by evolution but by some malevolent intelligence.

Homicide detective Bryan Clauser is losing his mind. How else to explain the dreams he keeps having - dreams that mirror, with impossible accuracy, the gruesome serial murders taking place all over San Francisco? How else to explain the feelings these dreams provoke in him - not disgust, not horror, but excitement? As Bryan and his longtime partner, Lawrence 'Pookie' Chang, investigate the murders, they learn that things are even stranger than they at first seem.

Story
Ataegina was an isolated world of medieval castles, varied cultures, and conquests, vibrant until the demons rose and spread relentless destruction. Swarms of lethal creatures with black husks, murderous claws, barbed tails, and dreaded “tooth-tongues” raged through the lowlands, killing 90 percent of the planet’s population. Terrified survivors fled to hidden mountain keeps where they eke out a meager existence. When a trio of young warriors discovers a new weapon, they see a chance to end this curse. To save humanity, they must fight.

Story
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Fighting her way free brings little relief - she discovers only a room lined with caskets and a handful of equally mystified survivors. Beyond their room lies a corridor filled with bones and dust but no people and no answers. She knows only one thing about herself - her name, M. Savage, which was engraved on the foot of her coffin. She finds herself in charge. She is not the biggest among them or the boldest, but for some reason the others trust her.

Publisher's Summary
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 was 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 thrills listeners with this cinematic, relentlessly paced novel that mixes and matches genres, combining horror, techno thriller, and suspense in a heady mix that is equal parts Chuck Palahniuk, Michael Crichton, and Stephen King.
Critic Reviews
" 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)

Confused? This review might help.
Listeners who are unfamiliar with Scott Sigler might be wondering about all the strange reviews of this novel:
A few years ago, when Mr. Sigler was an aspiring author, he began publishing his novels online in podcast form. Every week, he read a chapter aloud and made it available to his podcast subscribers for free. The stories were pretty damn entertaining, and his podcast became one of the most popular feeds on the internet. His fans call themselves "junkies" because of their addiction to Scott's weekly fiction "fix". He produced several free online audiobooks in this fashion, and all were eventually printed by small publishing houses.
"Infected" was his first novel to be picked up by a major publisher. Marketing an audiobook was problematic because Scott had already read the book on his podcast for free. Hence, this Director's Cut. (If you look in the pupil on the cover, it says "Director's Cut" in blue letters.) This version contains several scenes that are missing from the free podcast version and the print novel. They're not crucial to the story, but they are entertaining.
As other reviewers have stated, this is a horror novel for listeners with a strong stomach. Don't expect a Robin Cook style medical thriller. What porn is to sex, this book is to violence and vulgarity. Having stated those disclaimers, let me say it's a damn good page-turner. Imagine a good Michael Crichton book crossed with Stephen King, as told by Quentin Tarantino. In my opinion it's worth the credit. (Actually, I spent cash for this, and I don't regret it.)
The book contains graphic violence, constant swearing, non-sexual violence against women, male genital mutilation, and a racial slur. It does NOT contain: sex, drugs, rape, animal cruelty, gang violence, or hate crimes.
If you've made it this far, thanks for looking at my wordy review of "Infected." Who says audiobook lovers can't read?

Good Story Listening to the Sequel Now
I thought this book was a great story.
People complained about the voices he does but he's just getting started. The voices are much better in Contagious (the second book).
Parts of this book had me laughing out loud and other parts had me cringing.
I have started and not finished a lot of audio books because I lose interest. This book kept my attention all the way through.
I have the Contagious halfway finished and I'm looking forward to more titles from this author.
Keep 'em coming Mr. Sigler!

JUST PURE FUN!!!
OMG! A GREAT "what if" ride! I don't care how "bad" folks thought the author read this book. (I don't like the way Stephen King reads his books either but it doesn't stop me from listening) I enjoyed this book soooo much! I drive for a living and I listen to LOTS of books and there are some I have by very popular writers that I have had to turn off because they were putting me to sleep...not this one though...I had to force myself to stop. Am posting same review on his other book cuz I feel the same...hope he writes lots more...

Violence?? - yeah, LOTS AND LOTS!!!
Ok, yes, I'm a Sigler Junkie. I was over-joyed to see this on Audible. I listened to the podcast, I bought the hardcover (I'll be donating that to my local library.). I cannot wait to see Contagious (the sequel) come out. I would love to see Scott's other books on Audible as well. As always, his production is top-notch. His enthusiasm for the story comes through in this performance. My highest recommendation for this book.

COLUMBO IS HERE, ISN'T HE?
FEED US, WE HUNGRY
NO BOUT A DOUT IT, this is gory. There is a part where this guy cuts both his legs off, that will probably never leave my memory. That is only one of very many. At first I thought this was going to be very silly. The writing as a whole and in the beginning are not real professional. Sigler's ability to make you cringe and to tell an interesting story and to tie all the loose ends together are uncanny. Amongst all the gore, there is a mystery, a very intriguing mystery, that keeps you reading. Things said and done early on, start to make a lot more sense towards the end.
SOMEONE'S KNOCKING AT THE DOOR,
A few problems kept this from being a five star. As already mentioned the writer seems a little less polished in parts, a good editor was needed. I got tired of the, I was abused by my dad theme (not too original). Towards the end of the book, he even seems to approve of abusive fathers. Scott is a better narrator then a lot of author narrator, he does good voices, but the main narration part, is very boring at times. A good professional narrator could have made these parts more interesting. Course, a good editor would have eliminated a lot of these parts to begin with.
LET THEM IN
This book is worth your consideration, if you are not bother by gore and bad language. I know that I will listen to the sequel.

Weird and interesting!
Read for review and found myself laughing out loud listening to Perry and his bff, I really enjoyed learning about them and their friendship. Storyline is original but became pretty strange and far fetched after the first half. The narration did not help matters. I don't usually read fiction read by the author because they're never as good as they think they are. Weird enough for me to stick with it to the end and look at other books by Mr Sigler!

Amazing!
This audiobook seems like an action-packed movie. While violent and gory, the story progresses rapidly and the reader is gripped by the suspense and tension. Very entertaining. I eagerly anticipate his next novel. Definitely buy this one if you would like to be entertained and would not be put off by the graphic violence.

Great story, imaginative, fun
Scott Sigler writes and narrates this great story. Character development is excellent. Narration is excellent.
The story is way out there, great imagination and has me finishing this review quickly so I can listen to book 2. Which is what speaks volumes of a great book.
One fun piece, Mr Sigler is right about the girl voices... To understand that you have to hear his comments at the end of the book.

Started well but became... tiresome.
Would you consider the audio edition of Infected to be better than the print version?
Always, Audio is always better imo
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Narration was ok, the author narrates and he openly admits that some of his narration is wanting, the voice acting is bloody awful. I know it adds to the story to be able to differentiete between characters but i think it could be toned down a bit. Sound effects sometimes make it hard to actually hear the words (when driving at 70mph anyway). His women's voice.. my god, just stop doing it. I was close to skipping sections.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Sometimes makes your cringe when describing various self 'harm' shall we say.
Any additional comments?
I found the last 30 minutes of the book a struggle and the ending felt rushed. I am not sure if i will bother with book 2 in the series.. I'm looking for a new stephen pacey narrated book :)

Some good ideas, but felt a little disappointed.
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Probably not, because I only recommend books I love.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
A bit disappointed. I know it is the first in a series but I felt I wanted to know more at this point.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Narrator was fine, but one or two voices a bit annoying.
Do you think Infected needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
There is plenty more to tell, I would imagine.
Any additional comments?
Not a bad book but not a great one. The following one may be worth a listen.

Well paced, gripping and VERY gory.
When I first started Scott Sigler’s Infected, I must admit to being a little disappointed in the narration. Scott narrates the books himself, but I’d just finished a series of great books with truly amazing character actors narrating, so with hindsight it was a little unfair.
Scott uses some light voice effects to differentiate between some of his characters voices, and also uses sound and music to really bring the story and some of the characters alive. Whether it’s to counter limitations in his own vocal ability or not, it’s a good technique and I grew to love it.
Let me say upfront, Infected’s story line is in a genre I love, but it’s right up there with the best of them. Believable characters which are well developed, a story which is well paced and (sounds) well researched, nice twists, and is a real (metaphorical) page turner that keeps you gripped right up to the very end. Oh yes, and really really gory, with his descriptions painting such an immersive picture, I squirmed several times.....and I'm not in the least bit squeamish. (Chicken scissors anyone?!)
If you like this genre, I say go for it. If you don’t then I’m sure Mills and Boon books are also available.

BUY THIS BOOK
This was my first SS book, I love how he narrates, he can not sing, it almost put me off but otherwise it's great. I love the triangles voices, nice little touch. This is a great book, you get completely invested and care what happens and it's so so involving . Buy this, it's so so so good, you won't regret it.

thoroughly entertaining and intense
A lovely book - this is meant in the nicest and best way, it felt like a book written by an incredibly enthusiastic learner author - which made it all the better.
Once you accept the concept of the story, it bowls along, really exciting and I really wanted to know what happened to the protagonist.
I will be buying the sequel for sure

Thiird listen still great!!
The best audiobook I've ever read. No bout a doubt it. Setting up the Siglerverse beautifully. Fantastic science linked together beautifully with stomping action. but the real genius is in the characterization. setting up some of my favourite characters including Murrray Longworth, Scary Perry Dorsey, Dew Phillips and Margaret Motoyah. just watch their character arcs develop.

Body horror at it's best!
If this doesn't give you the crawlies you are made of stone.
Love this book.
Not the best SciFy ever since you start having some questions about the entire endeavor but still very gripping.

The best book series
Infected is the best book.
Nobody know books like me... they have lots of paper, most paper comes from Chi-na. They are trying to steal our jobs, steal our books and steal our words. Not like Scott, Scott blames the aliens, who enter illegally, from space, this is why we need a space force, to stop illegal aliens from space. Scott is an American unlike this illegal aliens, but these aren't little green men, instead virus. Because Scott writes, science and then he writes fiction. Its science and its fiction, but its like me its hard. Its hard science fiction. Its the best like me. Trust me no one knows books better than me. I know I read a lot, I read books, but only the best books that's why I read Scott's books.
For a more serious review...
Infected is an amazing story. It's about pain and horror. Both the fantastical and the real. Scott takes a hard science fiction approach to his writing and never was it more evident than here. When I introduced my father to Scott's writing I first gave him Ancestor and this. This is perhaps some of his best writing. I personally am a fan of how he reads apparently some others aren't they prefer a more sombre and balanced tone. I like the way Scott puts his all into his performance and I think it is one without a doubt. However, it is the story that shines here. It is perhaps the BEST intro into his work, seeing how he blends science fiction with our current understanding best theories and current science to create interesting stories. A must-read if to just see how Scott is as author.

Goodish story, narrator takes some getting used to
slightly misogynistic. I pushed through purely out of curiosity. feel icky. yeah, but I still wanna listen to the other books in the series... I mean, it was good. just problematic at times.

Please stop using this narrator
Please stop using this narrator. He makes the characters all sound like mr garrison from south park. I want to listen to Scott Siglers stories but this guy makes it a chore to get through.

Great Book
Totally engrossed found it difficult to put down. The music tones add to the suspense.
