内容简介 They dropped from the atmosphere like microscopic snow. Billions of seeds, smaller than specks of dust, spiralling down from the heavens. A few survived, and began to grow. Now three people face a race against time. Dew Phillips, an agent with a classified unit of the CIA, and Margaret Montoya, a government biologist, must try to stop a modern plague that drives its victims to insanity, murder and suicide. And Perry Dawsey, an ex-footballer in a dead-end job, must race to find a cure for the rash that has appeared on his arm. And his back. And his neck. And which is getting bigger. And then the voices start. Scott Sigler is the new voice in new horror - his UK debut is a terrifying, menacing thriller about millions of alien parasites infecting the general population, driving the victims to murder and suicide...and waiting to hatch...

媒体推荐 'Gripping, pacy and often stomach-churningly violent...hard to put down' -- Independent 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, author of Deep Storm 20080716 'Part Stephen King, part Chuck Palahniuk...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, author of The Judas Strain 20080716 'Sigler is the Richard Matheson of the 21st Century...smart and creepy, INFECTED is a flawless thinking-persons thriller. Bravo to a bold new talent!' -- Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Bad Moon Rising 20080716 'Even hardened genre fans will find themselves whimpering at each new revelation. This terrifying page-turner could be the author's breakout book.' -- Publisher's Weekly - Starred review 20080716 'From where I stand, Sigler is at the top of the tree' -- Jason Bradbury, BBC, on EarthCore 20080716 'This novel's got it all: cutting-edge science; a perfectly-realized setting; terror both plausible and profoundly unsettling. EarthCore is more exciting than a thriller has any right to be!' -- Lincoln Child on EarthCore 20080716 'Bad things happen to bad people in this book. Then they happen some more. Very. Bad. Things. Things that make you wonder just what sort of childhood the author must have lived through. No way I'm going caving with him anytime soon. or letting him near knives in my presence.' -- Evo Terra, host of XM Satellite and FM syndicated radio show 'The Dragon Page' on EarthCore 20080716 'EarthCore is in-your-face, steel-tipped boot on your throat, speed-metal fiction. Nail-biting suspense and non-stop action breathe life into his debut novel' -- Tee Morris, co-author of Podcasting for Dummies 20080716 'The Hot Zone meets "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" as an unidentified "virus" sweeps America. It is as graphically horrid as Palahniuk and as compulsive as Stephen King' -- Bookseller 20080328 '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...imagine a genetic splice of The Last Boy Scout, Body Snatchers and Richard Matheson's Shrinking Man, and you're on the way to understanding the slack-jawed fun of INFECTED' -- SFX 20080801 'Gripping, pacy and often stomach-churningly violent...Sigler seems to have star potential' -- Guy Adams in The Independent 20080716 'Fast-paced and engaging...a compelling read and an exciting story well-told' -- Black Static 20080818
