"Infected is the debut novel of Scott Sigler." This is true if you don't count EarthCore and Ancestor (though these two never hit stores they are both great reads!). Scott has a talent for writing that is for sure. He weaves a story here that will simultaneously rock, scare and make you feel like you should have paid attention during those biology classes. All joking aside this is a very good book and it will draw you into its grip very easily once you've cracked it open.
The story has an amazing cross genre feel to it that isn't quite as risky as Mr. Lester's but still not it does not stick to the one genre. This for me kind of makes the book more appealing. With the science and techno-babble from a sort of twisted SF side to the pure thriller it is great. It is not a book that you need to think hard about while reading (the above statement about Bio class was just a joke!). It keeps the story vivid and to the point you don't ever find yourself looking at a page or a chapter and asking yourself, "Why is that even in the book?"
For the first in the trilogy has a strong start!
Caution: There is a lot of adult content, adult language and violence in this book. If this will offend you I would not pick it up for yourself. With that said to help our Future Dark Overlord pick up a copy for someone you know who won't be offended (come on we all have those friends that we don't agree with and you know you have a friend who will like this!).
Believable Blie Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
You can find out more information on the book at scottsigler.com and infectednovel.com. it is also available as a free audio-book download at those two sites!
