Another Opinion

Best airplane book ever? hmmm... I'd have to think long and hard to come up with BEST EVER, but I do think a book that just came out will serve you well whether you're aisle, middle or window.

Infected, by Scott Sigler, reminded me a lot of The Ruins (Ann's pick below), with maybe just a bit more sci-fi. I'm going to call this one a "page-turner," because I truly couldn't turn these pages fast enough.

Our story follows a CDC Doctor and a Government Agent investigating seemingly normal folks going homicidal. One thing ties all of these killers together: Triangular blue growths under their skin. (Hence the supremely creepy jacket over there!)

Our third protagonist is a former football player who has long worked to supress his violent tendencies. Now he's fighting against invaders in his own body.

This book is gory and over-the-top in the very best sense... Perfect for vacation, perfect for summer... You'll never scratch an itch the same way!
