The Infection is a post-apocalyptic horror story with a unique twist. This is a character-driven story where the author takes time to detail all characters without halting the action.

Do not be surprised if you find it hard to put the book down until you have read it to the end. Fortunately, it is just about 280 pages long and can be gobbled up in a single sitting.
