Contagious

fullDescription

Across America, a mysterious pathogen transforms ordinary people into raging killers, psychopaths driven by a terrifying, alien agenda. The human race fights back, yet after every battle the disease responds, adapts, using sophisticated strategies and brilliant ruses to fool its pursuers. The only possible explanation: the epidemic is driven not by evolution but by some malevolent intelligence.
Standing against this unimaginable threat is a small group, assembled under the strictest secrecy. Their best weapon is hulking former football star Perry Dawsey, who possesses an unexplainable ability to locate the disease’s hosts. Hardened CIA veteran Dew Phillips must somehow forge a connection with him if they’re going to stand a chance against this maddeningly adaptable opponent. Alongside them is Margaret Montoya, a brilliant epidemiologist who fights for a cure even as she reels under the weight of endless horrors.
These three and their team have kept humanity in the game, but that’s not good enough anymore, not when the disease turns contagious, triggering a fast countdown to Armageddon.

   • content: Scott Sigler's story is contagious--the more you listen, the more you want to hear. Though Sigler's narration isn't as spectacular as his writing, he has a pleasant, logical-sounding voice. In particular, he knows what's coming and can vary his voice accordingly. However, he's not skilled at differentiating characters, and his young-sounding voice stretches credibility when performing the older characters, such as the U.S. president. Like some of Robin Cook's plots, this story is about the attempt to identify and eradicate a disease that attacks humans, turning them into psychopathic killers. Not only are they violent, but the malefactors seem to have superintelligence, anticipating every move to stop them. Along with Sigler, listeners will whisk through this thriller, with anticipation of another of this genre from the author. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

     November 10, 2008
     Alien invaders threaten humanity in Sigler’s over-the-top thriller, the sequel to Infected
     . In the near future, U.S. president John Gutierrez goes straight from his inauguration to crisis management when his national security team informs him that he must focus his attention on Project Tangram, a secret government program to stave off an epidemic caused by alien parasites, which form itchy blue triangular patches on the skin. Victims eventually become paranoid and violent. As the infestation spreads, Gutierrez must decide whether the outbreak can be contained without the use of tactical nukes on American soil. Meanwhile, the creatures responsible for the parasites get a foothold in Michigan through a seven-year-old girl, who manifests possession by drawing blue triangles on her dolls. While lacking the psychological sophistication of Jack Finney’s The Body Snatchers
     or David Gerrold’s War Against the Chtorr series, this page-turner builds inexorably to an explosive ending. 5-city author tour.
