Scott Sigler’s Infected is a Science Fiction - Horror cross-over. For those of you unfamiliar with Sigler, he is the self-procliamed Future Dark Overlord of Podcasting, and one of the original authors on podiobooks.com. This isn’t his first published novel(he has published two novels with Dragon Moon Press) but this is his first book deal with a major publisher, Crown Publishing.
Infected tells the story of Perry Dawsey, an Ex-Michigan Linebacker, who becomes “infected” with an alien organism. Perry fights the infestation in a way that would make his dead dad proud. He fights the 'Triangles' all the way to the end, a final battle that involves chicken scissors, and is sure to make you cross your legs, at least if you are male.
I listened to the original podcast version of this novel, which meant that I had to put up with Sigler’s voice in my head as I read the book. Sigler has a disturbing mind, but the result was a book that kept me turning the pages and wanting more.
I am a fan of Sigler's work and look forward to some of his other podcast novels becoming available in print.

Thanks for the review! Glad you liked the print version (and yeah, my voice in your head, get used to it).
