You've got a rash on your arm. It's nothing - surely no need to panic.

It gets bigger - now it looks like a blue tattoo of a triangle, and it really, really hurts. And there's another one on your leg. And your back. And your neck. And they're still growing.

Then you start to hear voices in your head. And you know it's not you...it's them.

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...

Review:

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)

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)

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)

Sigler has signed a deal for the movie rights, and it's hard not to see why...sheer entertainment...INFECTED charges along at a frenetic rate, its short and concise chapters motoring the narrative along at a breakneck pace and Sigler's prose is equally as punchy, stripped of all flab (SCiFi Now)

The War of the Worlds for the 21st Century (Professor Colin Pillinger, CBE)

Sigler is the Richard Matheson of the 21st Century...smart and creepy, INFECTED is a flawless thinking-person's thriller. Bravo to a bold new talent! (Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Bad Moon Rising)

'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)

From where I stand, Sigler is at the top of the tree (Jason Bradbury, BBC, on EarthCore)

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)

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)

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)

Book Description:

Pioneering podcaster crests the 'new horror' wave - INFECTED will have a 100,000 hardback first print in the USA.
