More About the Author

New York Times best-selling novelist Scott Sigler is the author of ANCESTOR, INFECTED and CONTAGIOUS, hardcover thrillers from Crown Publishing.

Before he was published, Scott built a large online following by giving away his self-recorded audiobooks as free, serialized podcasts. His loyal fans, who named themselves "Junkies," have downloaded over eight million individual episodes of his stories and interact daily with Scott and each other in the social media space.

Scott reinvented book publishing when he released EARTHCORE as the world's first "podcast-only" novel. Released in twenty weekly episodes, EARTHCORE harkened back to the days of serialized radio fiction. His innovative use of technology puts him at the forefront of modern-day publishing and has garnered brand-name exposure among hundreds of thousands of fiction fans and technology buffs.

He's been covered in Time Magazine, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Entertainment Weekly, Publisher's Weekly, The Huffington Post, Business Week and Fangoria. He still records his own audiobooks and gives away every story - for free - to his Junkies at www.ScottSigler.com.

4.0 out of 5 stars The author reads his own book... I liked it., October 17, 2008

This review is from: Infected, Complete and Unabridged, Collector's and Library edition (Audio CD)

The author reads his own book, yes the female voices ARE strange/funny. At first it was very jarring to me. I got used to it, and it did not diminish my enjoyment of this story. The funny thing is that the author actually apologizes for his female voices in the special thanks part of the book (last cd after the reading is finished) The author is really a do-it yourself kid of guy, he makes up voices for all of his characters. this makes it very easy to follow along, and know who is talking. Ideally the audio book would be read by a full cast, but that is not always financially viable. I have listened to other audio books where the reader does not make voices for each character and it can be tough to know what character is speaking at any given time. This is a good compromise.

I will say that I really enjoyed this story, and the authors reading of it. This is the authors book, and you can tell he loves his work. His enthusiasm for the subject matter comes through in his reading.

Now on to the story: without spoiling anything, the story starts off as a mystery, but quickly moves into science fiction. Of particular note is the authors absolutely perfect telling of a person loosing their mind and becoming paranoid. I really don't want to spoil any of the book, as I enjoyed it and wouldn't have wanted anyone else to ruin it for me! :)

As a word of warning, there are parts of this book that will make you feel physically ill. in a good way. really. I am a pretty desensitized guy, but WOW. So if you are squimish, be ready to skip whole sections of this book :)

If you are looking for AAA hollywood audio books, check out world war z. its amazing and has a full cast.
If you want to hear a scary story in the vein of Stephen kings goriest, this is a great choice. I highly recommend it.

This Audio Book is very entertaining, Yet Disgusting. It's great for a road trip. My mother Got really intersted in the story after the first few chapters. I thought she would have a conniption fit but she really enjoyed it as well. I really enjoyed the story and while listening to it, I kept itching thinking what I would be like if I had voices in my head lol. I hope this review helps someone if not oh well.

I hadn't read the book before I listened to the audio version, so my opinion is just based on it. I found it very nice. The voices, especially of Ms Montoya may be hilarious at times, but it is consistent, and the characters are easily recognizable.
I'd say the twists and turns of the plot confused me a bit, but it was more than compensated by the creativity of the author, who should also consider acting as a side job. After the audio version, I decided to buy the printed book.
