Revue de presse
'A terrific read' (Sun)
'Scott Sigler takes us on a breathtaking, hyper-adrenalized ride filled with terror and jaw-dropping action . . . epic and exhilarating' (Fantasy Book Critic)
'Gripping, pacy and often stomach-churningly violent...Sigler seems to have star potential' (Independent on INFECTED 20080716)
'Part Stephen King, part Chuck Palahniuk...a pulpy masterpiece of action, terror, and suspense' (James Rollins on INFECTED 20080716)
'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 on INFECTED 20080716)
'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...a genetic splice of The Last Boy Scout, Body Snatchers and Richard Matheson's Shrinking Man' (SFX on INFECTED 20080801) --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Broché .

I could NOT put this down
5 janvier 2009

As a big fan of Scott's books, I was excited for the release of this book. This is the first time one of his books has been available in print before being released as a podcast, so it was my first time being able to read one of his stories at my pace instead of waiting on new episodes to be released.
Big Mistake.
I inhaled this 400+ page monster in two days, and could not put it down. The novel is intense, thrilling, terrifying, and action packed. The book is a sequel to his novel Infected which (for the most part) took place in the incredibly small setting of an apartment living room. The sequel pulls out all the stops, moving to a few truly memorable setpieces on the rushing ride to an over-the-top finale that boggles the mind in its intensity and scale. Great characters, humor, gore, and a story based on actual science and technology that's terrifying in it's near-believeability.
Buy this book and read it. If you're on the fence, at least visit the author's website, where you can listen to a VERY high production value audio version on the first book, or read it as a pdf. If you like what you see of Infected, this book will get its hooks in you bad. Don't say you weren't warned, and say hello to Chauncey for me.

Profoundly entertaining, the perfect sequel

Sigler has topped himself with Contagious. I honestly took a half work day last week to finish it, and lost more than a few hours of sleep staying up to read just one more chapter.
With Contagious, Sigler has tapped back into that /vast/ and detailed imagination best manifest in his The Rookie universe and capped it with by far the best interpersonal drama he's written. Contagious bridges the private horror of Sigler's previous novel Infected with enough subtle hooks to cut anyone up on the story. It delivers a relentless, constantly accelerating tale that reaches the sublimely horrible in its final act. No spoilers here, but I've not felt as electrified by, and connected to, the grand action in any recent movie short of The Dark Knight.
Sigler is a rising star, and looks to have finally reached the main stage with Contagious. My highest recommendation.

Hold on to your seat...

True to form, Scott Sigler skips the on-ramp and barrels straight into the speedway. Contagious picks up Perry Dawsey "post-recovery". The problem is this: Perry still hears the voices of the things that invaded his body and this mountain of rage is not going to take it sitting down. Using the information he gains, Perry fights back. So, the disease changes tactics and the infection is spreading.
Scott Sigler pulls the reader on to the next page and does not let them stop until they hit the end. Great book...I look forward to much, much more from this author.
