This is the conclusion of the
Infected Trilogy and this is one of those rare trilogies where it ends almost
as well as it began. In my mind Sigler can
never top the awesomeness of the first book, Infected, probably one of
the best horror books I’ve ever read (just say “blue triangle” to me and I
still shiver), but he came close.
It’s been a few years since Detroit
was wiped off the map to keep the alien invasion at bay but not everything has
been destroyed. A small canister is
discovered on the bottom of Lake Michigan and what it contains may possibly
destroy the entire human race. If the
aliens don’t wipe us out, our reactions to the contagions probably will.
A great world almost-ending book
showing how events could possibly play out on a global scale; the psychology of
the world politics is really interesting.
The first book is about an inner struggle with an infection, the second
involves an entire city and the third the world. It’s an interesting study in human
interaction and contagion vectors. The
later hopefully being something we’ll never need to know anything about! I highly recommend reading these in order for
the full impact of the tale.
