Stuck in the wilderness with a bunch of other juvenile delinquents on an “Inward Trek,” it doesn’t seem that things could get worse for seventeen-year-old Nick “Nero” Sole.
But they do. Overnight, Nero’s counselors turn into flesh-eating maniacs and start chowing down on his fellow miscreants—like a monster movie come to life. As in any classic monster flick worth its salted popcorn, colossal carnage sends survivors rabbiting into the woods while the mindless horde of “infects” shambles, moans, and drools behind. These kids have seen the movies; they know the rules.
Unfortunately, knowing the rules isn’t going to be enough.
The Infects is a genre buster; yes, it’s a fast-paced gore fest, but it’s also an incisive commentary on the evil that lurks within each of us.

"A zombie book with humor, I loved it! If you like zombies you will like this book.The story line is great and very easy to read. What would you do if you wake up one day and there is zombies everywhere read this book and find out how these crazy bunch of people deal with the zombies."
— Susan (4 out of 5 stars)
" A whole book centered around flesh-eating zombies is on thing, but a whole book centered around navel-gazing zombie teenagers is where I have to draw the line. Teenagers are just gross. "
— Gilliam, 1/13/2014" Very different style of writing, almost poetry in parts. "
— Steph, 12/6/2013" I loved this book so hard I think I'm having its baby. Or maybe that's just a leftover chunk of ear meat. Whatever it is, passing it hurts almost as much as reading the last page of The Infects and knowing it was over. Guess I'll drown my sorrow in some Bloritos. "
— Kevin, 11/28/2013" Very readable, sometimes funny, but for a book that was supposed to be "genre-busting", it held true to far too many zombie cliches. "
— Nancy, 10/17/2013" What on earth did I just read?! I can't decide if I liked it or not. XD Very interesting and a nice, easy read! Just what I needed in between the morbid books I've been reading. "
— Lauren, 10/5/2013" I have to admit to being really disappointed in this story. It had so much potential that it never lived up to. There was way too much set-up in the beginning and the ending was way too abrupt. Dang it, I REALLY liked his previous book, too. "
— Elsa, 8/9/2013" A quick, fun read. The zombie rules were a bit derivative of the movie Zombieland but still entertaining. "
— Dana, 7/3/2013" i cannot get in to this book no matter how much i try, its just not for me, if the beginning is not hooking me in then NO CAN DO!! "
— Caridad, 6/14/2013" Fair, didn't like the ending. "
— Rebecca, 3/31/2013" Overt sexual innuendos, an almost non-existent plot, and little depth amount to an overall ho-hum book. It's a very basic splatterpunk novel - and perhaps a good indication that the zombie-apocalypse sub genre is running out of gas (or, in this case, brains). "
— Mike, 12/15/2012" Ehh. If you like satire you may like this, but I like a more realistic zombie book. The humor seemed forced to me, and it's just not my favorite in the genre. "
— Miranda, 12/15/2012" plot was a little silly at times but this book really grabbed and kept me reading to see what would happen next "
