About this listen
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.©2008 Scott Sigler; (P)2008 Random House, Inc.

Where does Infected rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Although not in my top five it's still a good book, but defintely not for the faint hearted there are some quite graphic scenes dealing with the......outbreak (not wanting to spoil anything). At times I did think about throwing in the towel but it does pick up pace and in the end it left me wanting to get the second in the series. It's a genre that has beeen covered quite a lot but I felt this was quite a unique take on it.The author narrates the book and at the end he gives an honest review of his performance, especially his attempt at the female characters, overall I think his enthusiam for the story came through. There's also some nice musical touches that add drama to the overall performance.
Not for the squeamish......

A lot of work put into the characterisation of the authors characters. Did a good job as far as I'm concerned on making all of the people believable.Good listen!

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.Some good ideas, but felt a little disappointed.
